Octavia E. Butler Quotes

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

I realised that today we are very much interested in reading about subjects that would have also interested people in the 1500s: ghosts, demons and things that go bump in the night.

The genre of fantasy is about magic and occult characters.

I have always been into the darker side of things and love the mystery and sexiness of vampires.

I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

I think to describe 'The Gates' as a genre show is tricky because when you think of what's a vampire show or what's a supernatural kind of thing, I think other shows... maybe focus on that element probably slightly more than our show does.

I am a vampire/werewolf and sci-fi fanatic. God is so good! I get to play in a series that has all that!

That's one of my favorite things about 'Hemlock Grove' is that it's just unique and really just weird, and that's really what's happening with Miranda when she kind of gets thrown into the middle of this vampire-werewolf world.

Woo woo, secret vampire stuff!

I tend toward the unnatural, sometimes with supernatural undertones or such.

Magic frightens people almost as much as it intrigues them.

I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't necessarily believe in vampires or werewolves or that kind of thing, but I believe there is definitely a realm we don't necessarily have access to.

What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.

I've always been a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I like working with larger-than-life characters in fascinating worlds - places where the rules are different.

I walk in the realm of the supernatural.

When 'Supernatural' came out, there were a lot of procedurals and you were either a doctor or a cop or lawyer, otherwise the show didn't stay on TV. And then we came around, and I don't want to say we were trailblazers, but we found our niche.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.

I'm a storyteller, and I have really good material to work with: I've been studying magic and the occult since about 1983.

I keep waiting for someone to cast me as the angel or the witch or the immortal of some kind because so much of the reading I do for my own pleasure is fantasy, horror, or sci-fi.

Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.

I think it's nice to let people know that there is an invisible part of the world. I think there are many people now who are interested in the invisible world.

I think people are just intrigued with the supernatural. I mean, I know that I am. It's something that I find very interesting.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about scary demons, but I think that there are things in this world that are unexplainable that are mystical or paranormal. The possibility is there, definitely.

The thing I find really scary about ghosts and demons is that you don't really know what they are or where they are. They're not very well understood. You don't know what they want from you. So it's the kind of thing you don't even know how to defend yourself against. Anything that's unknown and mysterious is very scary.
