Quote

I love telling stories, whether I'm the human instrument that helps tell that story, or I'm the man behind the curtain.

I don't travel and tell stories, because that's not the way these days. But I write my books to be read aloud, and I think of myself in that oral tradition.

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

Fairy tales and folk tales have always played a role in my writing in one way or another.

For me, I just want to continue telling stories - whether it's musically or theatrically, this is what I love to do. So, I want to create more.

I'm not standing above the audience trying to manipulate them as a puppet master or a trickster; I'm inside the story I'm writing and making and thinking about things very seriously and feeling very deeply at times, and trying to translate that into a narrative.

I like to tell stories through dancing and singing.

Generally speaking, it has been my ambition to write as a good old nurse will speak when she tells fairy tales.

I try and make little stories. Whether it's with a pencil or with bits of records, it's really the same thing.
