Books are the building blocks of civilization, for without the written word, a man knows nothing beyond what occurs during his own brief years and, perhaps, in a few tales his parents tell him Picture Quote #1

I’m a storyteller who uses all of the beauty and power of cinema to tell tales of human struggles for positive social change Picture Quote #1

Darwinism is dynamic. It is about change, not stasis; about process, not pattern; about tales, not tableaux; about becoming, not being Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven’t got any dark tales, I didn’t draw on my own past, I’m from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven’t got any complaints really Picture Quote #1

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other Picture Quote #1

No one spoke in terms of children’s literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn’t categorised much before then. Even Grimm’s tales were written for adults.

To portray an iconic character has been brilliant in itself, and to be able to do that on a show like ‘Once Upon a Time’ enhances that because the show puts a spin on characters and makes them very different and puts core values that are very different that aren’t in the original fairy tales a lot of people relate to Picture Quote #1

In America, they have specialist mystery book stores with whole sections devoted to cat mysteries, golf mysteries, quilting mysteries. It’s a hugely broad genre from the darkest noir to tales of a 19th-century vet who solves crimes, thanks to his talking cat Picture Quote #1
