I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.

The myth that everyone once read great literature is just a myth.

A culture without mythology is not really a civilisation.

Mythology is a vast body of knowledge that has not been tapped.

There is a segment of the American population that has been excluded from the national myth, and that should be redressed.

Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.

We read Greek and Norse mythology until it came out of our ears. And the Bible.

Myths are part of our DNA. We're a civilisation with a continuous culture. The effort to modernize it keeps it alive. Readers connect with it.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.

I'm certainly not surprised by the passion of the youth for our myths. Mythology is almost a part of an Indian's DNA.
