A man may daydream of how he would spend a million dollars, but playing the same game with a billion dollars sours the fantasy. There are too many possibilities. The house he once wished for with all his heart is suddenly too small. The travel, too cheap. He wanted to visit an island. Now he contemplates buying one.
I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
Pretty much anything you care to imagine can happen in a fantasy, which in turn means you can really crank up the intensity of the tale you're telling.
Perhaps fate isn't blind after all. Perhaps it's capable of fantasy, even compassion.
I feel that's one of the central questions of fantasy. What did we lose when we entered the 20th and 21st century, and how can we mourn what we lost, and what can we replace it with? We're still asking those questions in an urgent way.
It does seem that a fantasy, working out in its own terms, stretching you beyond the normal concerns of your own life, gains you a peculiar charge of energy which inexplicably enriches you. At least, this is my ideal of a fantasy, and I am always trying to write it.
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.

If you did not indulge in fantasies, how else would you know if you were living an interesting life?
I have all these weird fantasies. Going coast-to-coast on my motorcycle and having random barbecues all over America. No show, no nothing.
The world of fantasy fills the gaps in people's knowledge.
Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.
No one will ever write a fantasy novel better than The Hobbit.
Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.
To dream alone is fantasy if it doesn't move the heart to act.
Im a massive science fiction and fantasy geek.
I was a huge fantasy geek growing up. I was the dungeon master in my D&D game.
I have loved you in every manner that my imagination could contrive. I have wanted you so deeply that my body sang with pain and pleasure. You have been my obsession, my passion, my philosophers' stone of fantasy. You are my desire, my longing, my spirit. I love you unconditionally. - Sabine Strohem
The gift of imagination is by no means an exclusive property of the artist; it is a gift we all share; to some degree or other all of us, all of you, are endowed with the powers of fantasy.
