Fairy tales are stories of triumph and transformation and true love, all things I fervently believe in.

Fairy-tales are nice.

As a reader, coming to my reading as a writer immersed in fairytales, I can't help but notice in so many stories, plays, poems that I read, the sort of breadcrumbs of fairytale techniques, so I'm very excited when I notice that.

My parents told me any and every fairy-tale from all around the world. I usually gravitated towards ones with interesting, strong heroines.

I know that I have a special stomach.

I loved fairy tales as a kid, so that's where my mind gravitates.

I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

I always like stories where the egg ends up on my face.

Fairytales work on two levels. On a conscious level, they are stories of true love and triumph and overcoming difficult odds and so are pleasurable to read. But they work on a deeper and symbolic level in that they play out our universal psychological dramas and hidden desires and fears.

I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner.
