Quote

You can understand a lot about yourself by working out which fairytale you use to present your world to yourself in.

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

I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.

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.

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.

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.

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

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.

My life is a fairy tale. You could not make it up.

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.
