My book collection is primarily in America, since that's where I've lived most of my life.

What I find interesting about folklore is the dialogue it gives us with storytellers from centuries past.

It's not just the zeitgeist-or rather, it's partly the zeitgeist, partly that folklore and mythic themes tend to resurface. Someone this weekend was describing it like the ocean, where themes come into culture, like the waves, and then out again, in cycles.

Robert Jordan, whether he's writing with passion or not, I don't know.

Since fantasy isn't about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!

All of my paintings are about stories and language. Storytelling always comes first. And in particular, I'm a storyteller working with folkloric and mythic materials.

A field needs to keep growing and changing if it's going to maintain its vitality, and I was worried by the dearth of younger writers and editors with any real vision. In the last few years, however, I've been astonished by the number of new people who have been published who are really good.

I was a great fan of Jim Henson.

Filmmaking can be a fine art.

Read the folklore masters. Go to galleries. Walk in the woods. That's what you need to be an artist or storyteller.

I like Celtic folk music, Native American music, and any kind of early music. There isn't a lot of music that I don't like... .except for Show Tunes.

In more recent years, I've become more and more fascinated with the indigenous folklore of this land, Native American folklore, and also Hispanic folklore now that I live in the Southwest.

I divide my time between homes in Arizona and England, six months a year in each place.

I'm an artist, I'm not an academic folklorist.

I don't like to trash anyone's fiction, really, unless it's written cynically. Then I wish it would just slink away with its tail between its legs.

One of the best things about folklore and fairy tales is that the best fantasy is what you find right around the corner, in this world. That's where the old stuff came from.

We've always lived in dark times. There has always been a range of human experience from the sublime to the brutal, and stories reflect it. It's no less brutal now; each age has its horrors.

There's that old adage about how there's only seven plots in the world and Shakespeare's done them all before.

Talk to any first-novelist desperate to get published and you'll see that its very hard for first-novelists now.

If there really was such as thing as reincarnation, and I could come back as anyone, it would be as a Marina-Warner-type scholar. But there's a role for popularizers, too.
