“People won't see Imagination in something that doesn't relate to their experience because of their own mental limitations. I want people to escape the expected and ordinary, to escape the regular expectations of a story, and truly step into a different world of literature.”

“People from different parts of the world can respond to the same story if it says something to them about their own history and their own experience.”

“It`s remarkable the truly stupid things people can do because it`s expected of them, or they think it`s expected of them.”

“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they're your parents. Because, if you're the kind of person who senses there's something out there for you beyond whatever it is you're expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary- you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you're not extraordinary. Instead, you will probablybecome as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

“Imagination is the first step to escapism....”

“If you truly want to escape the ordinary, you'll simply need to keep evolving. Whether what you seek is above or below.”
