Patrick Rothfuss Quotes

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead.

I've always been a huge fantasy fan. I was always interested in fairy tales and anything with magic or dragons... I was always drawn to those types of stories.

I really love fantasy. I have to say it is my favourite genre to read and one of the genres I love the most to write.

I'm a fantasy guy. So I brought the fantasy element to the Riddick, David Twohy brought the sci-fi, and it came together.You see that in every aspect of the film.

The fantasy world, the 'Game of Thrones' world, the forgotten realms worlds - they're the type of worlds I've always wanted to live in. Where vampires, dragons, dwarves and elves are real.

I want to be in 'The Hobbit.' I love fantasy and mythical adventure films. I believe in fairies and angels. I believe in nature's spirit, that there are other realms, other planets, life forms.

I think when writers play with dragons, we are simply doing what fantasy writers have always done.

I'd always had a hankering to write some old-school sword and sorcery. And there certainly are advantages to that particular form - for one thing, you're able to go all-out on the imaginative front, with a lot less concern for the usual unities of time and space and character.

I get to do what I love every day. I get to crawl into someone else's head and I love that.

Over the years, more than one reviewer has described my fantasy series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire', as historical fiction about history that never happened, flavoured with a dash of sorcery and spiced with dragons. I take that as a compliment.

'Game of Thrones' is great. Love it.

I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.

We all know that I love writing Gambit.

I've always loved magic.

'Kochadaiyaan' is a fantasy film. It will attract not only children but everyone.

I love anything that's mythical, and fantasy is one of my favourite genres.

Anything that has a dragon, a wand, pixie dust, fairies, magic, any of that, I love it. I'm obsessed with it, I will read it, I will watch it, I will commit it to memory.

It's part of the magic of 'Game of Thrones,' all the secrets.

I think it's fun to be superstitious. There's a drama in being superstitious. I'm like that in general. I have friends who don't believe in love or just think it's a chemical thing, and they don't believe in magic. I enjoy believing in all that stuff. It makes things seem more important than they are, like there's more to it.

I love fairytales. I like fantasy a lot, science fiction, I like magic. I like to create magic. I love magic.

Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.

When you start writing the magic comes when the characters seem to take on a life of their own and write the words for themselves.

Do remember, though, that unless you're a playwright, the result [dialogue] isn't what you want; it's only an element of what you want. Actors embody and re-create the words of drama. In fiction, a tremendous amount of story and character may be given through the dialogue, but the story-world and its people have to be created by the storyteller. If there's nothing in it but disembodied voices, too much is missing.

I love reading epic fantasies and big fat books and so I really wanted to write one. I think you always write what you want to read.

I love magic and playing with magic systems. But to me, good fantasy like all fiction comes down to good character and plotting.
