There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about, but you can't know it all, and that's where imagination can work.

From a very young age, stories fuelled my imagination in the most wonderful way.
The telling of stories creates the real world.
I'm always drawn to stories that people don't know about, particularly when they're inside of a story that everyone knows about.
