I loved fantasy, but I particularly loved the stories in which somebody got out of where they were and into somewhere better – as in the Chronicles Of Narnia, The Wizard Of Oz, The Phantom Tollbooth, the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon on Saturday morning in the 80s. – Lev Grossman

Ive always loved 3D. In fact, as a kid, I was exposed to 3D at an early age because my grandfather was a specialist of 3D in cinematheques. And then my cousin put it in Science of Sleep with toilet paper tube cities. But he was a specialist and I always wanted to do something in 3D. – Michel Gondry

Imagine the interplay. – Stephenie Meyer
