I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology so in that way fantasy is easier.

I don't read 'chick lit ' fantasy or science fiction but I'll give any book a chance if it's lying there and I've got half an hour to kill.

Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.

Is that romantic fantasy real? Um after kids no. Take the kids away I don't know. Depends.

Acting is not about anything romantic not even fantasy although you do create fantasy.

I have such a rich fantasy life I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.

All the actors I respect especially old-Hollywood actors the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.

We are pre-disposed for fantasy there is a natural impulse for human beings to want to get off their heads or out of their heads in something in a substance or a drink or an idea or a religion which will comfort them and make life exciting.

I did an album a long time ago called 'Replicas ' which was entirely science-fiction driven or science-fantasy. Since then it's been a song here a song there. It's not really a constant theme. I've written far more about my problems with religion with God and all that.
