I still recommend reading travel guides as an insight to a travellers perspective on fantasy worlds. Nearly all characters end up travelling at some point, and they have many of the same needs and concerns covered in travel guides.
And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.
We're getting used to reality and fantasy passing into each other. Much of the border between them has been erased.
I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people.
A lot of the ancient Norse myths and legends are the basis of a lot of the sci-fi, fantasy films out there. Telling these stories in a contemporary medium, it's all good.
The muse in charge of fantasy wears good, sensible shoes. No foam-born Aphrodite, she vaguely resembles my old piano teacher, who was keen on metronomes.
That was the action figure I was playing with. I grew up having this fantasy of being a superhero, being Princess Power.
I could see the works just living in reproductions. The work lives on like fantasy. Some live even better as just an image.
I do have a fantasy life in which I can grout bathrooms - but not for a living.
We need fantasy to survive because reality is too difficult.
Classical music's ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.
Science fiction is about what could be but isn't; fantasy is about what couldn't be.
To all the fantasy owners who drafted me: You're welcome.
The fantasy we had with pearls was always so luxurious and unique with a kind of rareness.
I can’t run around falling in love with fantasies.
Fantasy is no good unless the seed it springs from is a truth, a truth about human beings.
My real life’s not like the fantasy Tom Ford world – with naked girls pouring perfume everywhere. It’s more staying in and watching Friends on television.
I don't want to get pigeonholed just doing just family films and fantasy films. . . I don't really want to get pigeonholed just doing anything in particular.
The thing about fantasy - there are certain things you just don't do in fantasy.
The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.
