I think one of things is that all fantasy it seems to me works the way your brain basically works. This is perhaps a startling concept, but I think it's true.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
I've always loved fantasy. I think it's a great way to look at issues that we have in our own lives with a little bit of the pressure off, you know.
What happens in a fantasy can be more involving than what happens in life, and thank goodness for that.
Fantasy has a dark side to it. It also has a light hemisphere - the power of the human imagination to keep going, to imagine a better tomorrow.
I often look at places and kind of mentally convert them to fantasy versions of themselves.
Fantasy allows you bend the world and the situation to more clearly focus on the moral aspects of what's happening. In fantasy you can distill life down to the essence of your story.
I think every fantasy reader secretly believes they know how magic works.
I understand that sometimes when you're young it's difficult to remember the difference between real life and what is part of fantasy.
I've always said fantasy is sort of 'stealth philosophy'.
When you talk about fantasy, the usual problem is that whilst you've got the world of imagination, there are no controlling forces.
