I love fairy tales because I think that behind fairy tales, there is always a meaning.

The thing is, fairytales were once a very gritty way for people to dialogue about aspects of life.

Fairytales are stories that span every generation and they've been around for a long time.

The narrative of so many fairy tales are timeless in so many different cultures, and they have been since the dawn of man. They represent escapism, but they all feature themes that have such poignancy in a modern world.

What works about fairy tales is that they endure, and the great thing about fairy tales is that you can explore big, epic things that you can't really explore in other situations.

The words 'fairy tales' must accordingly be taken to include tales in which occurs something 'fairy,' something extraordinary - fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals.

People tend to think of fairy tales as 'archetypal.' They are also extremely sensual, something which translates well over the ages.

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.

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

I don't know what to think about magic and fairy tales.
