I always take a story that's kind of out there, like an urban myth. I take some possibility that people imagine, that they are familiar with, and try to turn it into a story.

I'm not such a fan of imagination. If you're alive to details, they oftentimes suggest a richer or deeper imaginative line than you would have imagined.

People seem to have trouble with the imagination. They can't believe that you can just pull things out of your brain like that.

The thing about imagination is that by the very act of putting it down, there must be some truth in one's own imagination.

There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about, but you can't know it all, and that's where imagination can work.

You have to just go with your imagination, where your instinct takes you.

Pretty much anything you care to imagine can happen in a fantasy, which in turn means you can really crank up the intensity of the tale you're telling.

Character design, like story design, requires a hook to grab the reader's attention.

Few people have the imagination for reality.

I think I've got a decent imagination. I hope some of my stories inspire other young imaginations.
