Imaginary friends are one of the weirder forms of pretend play in childhood. But the research shows that imaginary friends actually help children understand the other people around them and imagine all the many ways that people could be.

I had an imaginary friend. I don't know when I stopped having an imaginary friend, but my mom and everybody in my family remembers it pretty good. It's definitely true.

I had a good imagination and I still have one; a child-like imagination that hasn't gone away.

I still have imaginary friends who I talk to in my head.

I make up stories about people who are either imaginary or some variation of myself.

I've always had an active imagination.

I spent my childhood in an imaginary world - probably because I needed an escape. I think that's one of the reasons people have imaginations - because they can't maintain existence here.

I think having imaginary friends is an amazing coping mechanism. It's pretty wonderful, and it makes a lot of sense to me.

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

Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.
