I remember, when I was younger, it was such a big fantasy for me. Now that I actually have a career and have made an album, it's really surreal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I developed this fantasy world. I found that that was much more fun and more interesting and exciting than real life was to me. Then, once I got the guitar going when I was a teenager, I set sail for the direction I've been in my whole life.
It's been an amazing life. It's really just been the most magical thing for me - and I have these musical friends from all walks of life.
As a kid, I loved any fantasy.
I do remember, as a child, that I always imagined, when I was maybe 6 or 7, my fantasy was that everywhere I went I was being followed by an invisible film crew.
My life's been surreal from start to finish.
When I turned to writing fantasy, and writing for young people, it was joyous. It was like discovering an underground lake of ideas that went on forever.
Music had been my first love among the arts, and I was fascinated by it, as I still am.
Fantasy was something I'd read as a child. And, in fact, my teachers despaired a little bit because I refused to give up Enid Blyton. Then I walked through the wardrobe with C. S. Lewis, and I don't think I actually have returned fully from the wardrobe. So, fantasy was something that was in my life from quite young.
Yeah, and I went straight into a fantasy world. Just stepped straight into the abyss. You know, I was gone and kids used to walk past my front room, cause I lived on the green.
I still have a fantasy of being a musician when I grow up.
