I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.
Marie Curie
The land of fairy, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
William Butler Yeats
[On Badlands (1973)] I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this would, among other things, tak...

I`ve always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort ...

All I know is that I`ve ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings, and now I realize that`s not cool anymore.

Isla Fisher
My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I`ve had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I`ve gone through, I`ve always gotten a prize at the end.
Audrey Hepburn
Children are much more understanding of the suddenness and arbitrariness of death than we are. The old fairy tales contain a lot of that, and we`ve stolen from them, just as they stole from Greek myth, which has that same mixture of pre-Christian chaos.
Emma Thompson
The reason why I decided to wait two years after the Bond movie, and to work with Ang Lee in a martial arts movie, is because I really believe that this genre deserves more respect and dignity than it`s ever been given. Before, people saw it as a fairy ta...
Michelle Yeoh
I don`t believe in this fairy tale of staying together for ever. Ten years with somebody is enough. In ten years, you can give a lot of love.
Jim Carrey
This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubt on their existence. Or lack thereof.
Neil Gaiman
My muse is a tiny, fairy-like creature from Gnardgnanesh: a country that only exists if you wish it to. He`s about 4 inches tall, greenish, and resembles a little twig.
Thomas Lennon
It sounds cheesy but I think my life`s kinda like a fairy tale. I worked really hard, but I`m very, very lucky too. I`m just 16 and I`ve done so many amazing things. I travel the world, I have fans who support me and I get to do what I love - make movies,...
Hilary Duff
I watch [Steven Spielberg] movies, and know: Those are fairy tales. I understand what he does. And I make a film on cancer and frogs - however I want that many spectators nevertheless! I find that is a good goal, and I consider it a weakness of mine that ...
Paul Anderson
[on Dogville (2003)] One day it would be a fairy tale, the next it was a nightmare. Lars [Lars von Trier] was gentle with me - he was gentle and soft, then he would beat me up emotionally when he felt he needed that. I did not always register what was hap...
Nicole Kidman
I`ve wanted to be an astronaut, a doctor, a vet - these are things I`ve said in interviews. Before that, I wanted to be a mermaid and a fairy.
Natalie Portman
Yesterday I put on my Confederate uniform for the first time and looked like a fairy doorman at the Beverly Wiltshire - a fine thing at my age.
Leslie Howard
Why should a horror film be just a horror film? To me, The Company of Wolves is a fairy tale; it`s got all those elements plus a lot more. And we know that fairy tales aren`t innocent any more.

While some of my other books have sold more widely, Midnight seems to be the most passionately loved. There`s something about its secret, rather dark fairy world that appeals very strongly.
Jacqueline Wilson
Well the wedding in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury was a fairy tale and there was a huge public impress, investment of goodwill, affection and indeed money in this Institution. It was a huge success at the time.
