We want to connect all these musical worlds together. We just improvise; we know straight away if its going to work or not. They’re not covers – I hate the word cover. We do a transcription: mix it up, put our own spin on it. I think people will be surprised how powerful our show is.
It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body.
I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I’m a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It’s the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds.
Eventually, there will come a day where I’m not making games at Bethesda. Hopefully that’s a long time away. But I want to make sure that who we are, what the worlds are, what the company is, that’s sustainable far beyond me.
A theory not only explains the world we see, it lets us imagine other worlds, and, even more significantly, lets us act to create those worlds. Developing everyday theories, like scientific theories, has allowed human beings to change the world.
From the viewpoint of the writer, the most significant aspect of fantasy and science fiction is that stories of these kinds are either set in imaginary worlds or feature the appearance in the familiar world of some imaginary entity.
I like the mix of something farmlike and something futuristic and artsy mixed together. It’s kind of both my worlds.
‘Floating Worlds,’ which received a fair amount of attention when it was first published, deserves rediscovery.
The world of children’s books is a very friendly, decent place to be. It’s full of people who are desperate to enlighten, interest and excite children in ideas, imaginary worlds and contemporary issues.
I’m a big guy: I look like a linebacker, you know? But no one cares, really, that I’m educated. I have a copy of ‘Fire Next Time’ by James Baldwin in my bag. I have an Ibsen play in there, too. I have to walk through this world with that duality all the time, that I live in two different worlds.
The more tools we have directors and cinematographers will be able to express more and create different worlds and feelings. It’s like having more instruments in an orchestra.
I don’t think I will ever cross-contaminate my private life and my family life with my public and professional worlds.
My mom’s side is very Orthodox, and my dad’s side is the opposite, very liberal. I got a taste of both worlds, and I got to make up my own mind. I’m somewhere in the middle, which is a good place to be.
In fantasy there are no limits or boundaries. The worlds are so epic. A lot of people like losing themselves in these fantastical worlds.
Seeing ‘Pretty Little Liars’ fans adapt and create their own stories is both exciting and flattering, and I think what Amazon Publishing is offering through Kindle Worlds is a great way to reward their ingenuity.
On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us – ah! what a dream, to live in that! – the other stifles us at the first breath.
We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.
