I would have been very happy just working from job to job paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.

I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.

'American Horror' is the debasement of the suburban family the way a lonely kid would have imagined it in the Seventies.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life right?

My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family my friends and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

After completing a Delaware State education they were afforded opportunities beyond anything they might have imagined - and they opened doors for themselves that surely would have remained closed if they only had a high school education.

All the characters in my books are imagined but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are.

In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined a sweeter life.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
