I found ‘Bordertown’ when I was standing on the border between childhood and my teens, and it carried me past that transition.

I guess one of the most magnificent things a novel can do is to change your perspective on the world, and to give it some sense of wonder, and that’s what I find so exciting in writing fantasy, especially fantasy for children. Because already, I think children have a very special and unusual way of seeing the world Picture Quote #1

My fantasy for children’s television is that it’s not really children’s television, it’s everybody’s television Picture Quote #1

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that those who choose acting as a profession are phonies who live in a fantasy world. What is surprising is how many of them are blissfully unaware of it Picture Quote #1

Out of the 72 kids that I went to high school with, I still talk to 25 of them on a fairly regular basis. Seven of my classmates live in L.A., and five of them are in the entertainment business, and we constantly talk and play fantasy football together Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, acting wasn’t really accessible. I was just playing sports. But, I did watch a lot of TV. I watched a lot of Clint Eastwood movies on TV and had this fantasy of being like him when I grew up Picture Quote #1

I write in a fantasy world so I can make up my own rules and can change facts when I want to. It’s all about having control Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor, there’s going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today.

For me, they’re the more dangerous lies to come to terms with Picture Quote #1

The more we’re governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. Or, what’s impossible? What’s a fantasy? Picture Quote #1

Also, worldbuilding touches all aspects of your story. It touches plot and character as well. If you don’t know the culture your character comes from, how can you know what he’s really like? You must know your characters on a much deeper level than you would if you just shrugged your way into a cookie cutter fantasy world Picture Quote #1

I was always a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I was in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ club and all my cool friends made fun of me Picture Quote #1

I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff. I think it’s so cool Picture Quote #1
