I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.

It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.

Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting, they're dressing the scene, they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.

I don't think it's possible to touch people's imagination today by aesthetic means.
