I think being a dragon would be pretty awesome... you get to fly.

I'm kind of honored to be a dragon lady. The dragon is a very powerful, mythical animal.

Becoming a walking, dancing, fire-breathing lifestyle dragon is not something you can pursue overnight! It takes years of studying, living, and understanding the modern culture!

And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider.

I got the dragon on my leg when I was still living with my dad. He's not a fan of tattoos, so I had to get it behind his back; he kind of freaked out when he saw it.

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

I've been riding since I was maybe three or four. Ponies at first, and then I've really always been doing it since.

I saw the first 'How to Train Your Dragon' film with my children, and I found it utterly exhilarating.

I'm the sort of person who, once I put dragons into the real world, feels obliged to think about how their presence would have changed history.

Taking my bike out and riding the bike path along Lake Shore Drive, that's one of the great experiences in my life. And I hope to do it as long as I can.
