Fairy-tales are nice.

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.

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

I think people should read fairy tales, because we're hungry for a mythology that will speak to our fears.

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

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

As a child, I loved fairy tales because the story, the what-comes-next, is paramount. As an adult, I'm fascinated by their logic and illogic.

I grew up with a lot of fairy tales. And they had an essence of darkness to them.
