I love biomedical science I love astronomy and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds other environments. For me it was fantasy but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.

Growing up in the '70s and '80s science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things.

What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy although considering that it's me I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them they were born that way.

And by the way I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. You'll note there's no science in it. It's a kind of grim fantasy.

My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology so in that way fantasy is easier.

I don't read 'chick lit ' fantasy or science fiction but I'll give any book a chance if it's lying there and I've got half an hour to kill.

Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.

Is that romantic fantasy real? Um after kids no. Take the kids away I don't know. Depends.

Acting is not about anything romantic not even fantasy although you do create fantasy.

I have such a rich fantasy life I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.

All the actors I respect especially old-Hollywood actors the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.

We are pre-disposed for fantasy there is a natural impulse for human beings to want to get off their heads or out of their heads in something in a substance or a drink or an idea or a religion which will comfort them and make life exciting.

I did an album a long time ago called 'Replicas ' which was entirely science-fiction driven or science-fantasy. Since then it's been a song here a song there. It's not really a constant theme. I've written far more about my problems with religion with God and all that.

Religion is doing a man does not merely think his religion or feel it he lives his religion as much as he is able otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.

Religion is doing a man does not merely think his religion or feel it he 'lives' his religion as much as he is able otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.

Too many younger artists critics and curators are fetishizing the sixties transforming the period into a deformed cult a fantasy religion a hip brand and a crippling disease.

People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.

I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy with kings queens dukes and court politics but of course like what I was explaining before about making the science make sense you have to make the politics make sense too.

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days especially the ones that deal with fantasy is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.
