I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.
A lot of people have it - that fantasy of being lord or lady of the manor, either in the present or at some time in history.
The capacity for loving strangers, whether one thinks of them as fictional beings or stars one will never meet, is a profound reflection on the new consciousness whereby every individual leads his or life while aware of all the billions of other people on Earth. Perhaps it is a fantasy or a fallacy that we can feel for so many strangers. Perhaps it is a mask for selfishness. But no matter the modern stress on special effects, there isn't a sight in movies as momentous as shots of a face as its mind is being changed. And only movies have allowed that.

I think I've actually benefited from Australia being a kind of combination of both British and American culture. We kind of got the best of both British and American television and books, science fiction and fantasy, and so on.

When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't.
[I] have fantasies of killing myself and thus being the powerful one not the powerless one.
Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.
As a child I loved fantasy books, I loved Harry Potter and the idea that there is something 'out there' is inspiring to kids and inspiring to me. It's exciting and I think people can relate to it. Even if things are difficult or bad for you, the idea that there is something special within you is positive and true.
Our root fantasy is that "I" am real and that it's possible for "me" to be happy.
Fantasy deals with the immeasurable while science-fiction deals with the measurable.
The incessant perpetuation of collective fantasies makes people crave the truth and nothing but the truth - reality is the fastest American commodity.
I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.
