Imagination : (72) " It would be easier for people to grasp that gender, sex, and sexual orientation are different things if we had as much imagination in real life as we do when we are making our movies. " - Yance Ford " If you just storyboard something, you’ve already planned it, and you’re stuck in the limitations of your imagination. " - Daniel Espinosa " Through their play Barbara imagined their lives as adults. They used the dolls to reflect the adult world around them. They would sit and carry on conversations, making the dolls real people. " - Ruth Handler " My husband, David Simon, and I make our livings using our imaginations. " - Laura Lippman " I grew up a single kid and so my whole childhood was spent in my backyard dealing with imaginary circumstances and role playing and stuff. " - Tony Todd " When I’d written my ‘Silverwing’ series – I’d imbued the bats with full human awareness and vocabulary. " - Kenneth Oppel " I think I’ve always been drawn to the second person. When I was growing up and playing with my friends, the usual way we interacted with imaginary worlds was as characters: a bench was ‘your’ boat, leaves on a lawn were the fins of sharks out to get ‘you.’ " - Mohsin Hamid " A lot of ‘Stranger Things’ is having to be able to, in your mind, turn a little tennis ball into a huge monster. In Season 2, there was one scene where I was screaming at the monster and I was screaming at nothing. It was just the sky. So I really have a big imagination, I guess? " - Noah Schnapp " For novelists, the imagination is everything. The trick is to guide one’s imagination using research. I love using old maps. When I wrote my novels on London and New York, I found wonderful historical atlases. Paris has the most lavish maps of all. " - Edward Rutherfurd " I do like to wrap things up and leave some things to the readers’ imagination. " - Rick Riordan
