- I had been a reporter for 15 years when I set out to write my first novel. I knew how to research an article or profile a subject - skills that I assumed would be useless when it came to fiction. It was from my imagination that the characters in my story would emerge.
- Amy Waldman on Imagination
- I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
- Juno Temple on Imagination
- I have a huge, active imagination, and I think I'm really scared of being alone because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman.
- Claire Danes on Imagination
- I have a very vivid imagination.
- Janice Dickinson on Imagination

- S. E. Hinton on Imagination
- I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye, especially musical artists, are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.
- Emmy Rossum on Imagination
- I imagine that yes is the only living thing.
- E. E. Cummings on Imagination
- I know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, it's not imagination. It's just a way of watching.
- Haruki Murakami on Imagination
- I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
- Dr. Seuss on Imagination
- I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.
- Fay Godwin on Imagination
- I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.
- Sam Raimi on Imagination
- I like to have a thing suggested rather than told in full. When every detail is given, the mind rests satisfied, and the imagination loses the desire to use its own wings.

- I look back into past history, the stored experiences or products of the imagination. I look no further forward than the evening.
- Jerzy Kosinski on Imagination
- I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.
- Alessandro Nivola on Imagination
- I love our shared island, our shared Ireland and its core decency. I love it for its imagination and its celebration of the endless possibilities for our people.
- Michael D. Higgins on Imagination

- Robert Carlyle on Imagination
- I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.
- Leslie Banks on Imagination
- I love theatrics and have a huge imagination: Why would I want to sit onstage and sing a bunch of ballads back-to-back?
- Christina Aguilera on Imagination
- I loved the world of imagination.
- R. A. Salvatore on Imagination
- I made a real specific decision when I came out of school and most artists were writing about home - if you were a woman, you were writing about being a woman - and I decided not to do that, write about what you know. That's not what I do. I went as far away from home as possible in terms of the development of my imagination.
- Anna Deavere Smith on Imagination
- I mean, it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes, 'I've got this great game of pretend,' and you play... As an actor, getting to play, getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.
- Max Irons on Imagination
- I mean, the most important thing to me is imagination.
- Rob Walton on Imagination
- I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.
- H. G. Wells on Imagination
- I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.
- Calvin Trillin on Imagination
- I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?
- Jean Claude Duvalier on Imagination
- I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.
- Joe Rogan on Imagination
- I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
- Walt Disney on Imagination
- I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
- Pablo Picasso on Imagination
- I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.
- Man Ray on Imagination
- I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
- Michelangelo on Imagination
- I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it's myself at eight. Because that's when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world, when they're an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared, and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best.
- Henning Mankell on Imagination
- I suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
- Sean Parker on Imagination
- I suppose I'm proudest of my novels for what's imagined in them. I think the world of my imagination is a richer and more interesting place than my personal biography.
- John Irving on Imagination
- I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.
- Andrew Wyeth on Imagination
- I think I'm an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting, but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist.
- Susan Sarandon on Imagination
- I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
- Miguel Ferrer on Imagination
- I think it's fun to play with worlds that you can add a lot of your own imagination to. With 'True Blood,' you're not limited by anything, there are just leaps and bounds of the imagination you can take with these characters.
- Deborah Ann Woll on Imagination
- I think my imagination dictates the technologies I use. But at the same time, my imagination can be technologic. Sometimes I see a tool and I know immediately how to use it, but most of the time I use the tool for an idea I already have.
- Michel Gondry on Imagination
- I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid, too, and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me, a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool.
- Nathan Fillion on Imagination
- I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.
- Billy Connolly on Imagination
- I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean, first of all, it's a way to get information and find out what's going on in the world. But also, it helps your imagination.
- Breckin Meyer on Imagination
- I think we're all a little afraid of the dark. If you lived in the country, as I did, there's nothing quite like country dark, which was really black. And as a child, your imagination runs wild.
- Malcolm McDowell on Imagination
- I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.
- Shigeru Miyamoto on Imagination
- I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks, to do what they were most afraid of doing, to widen their horizons of action.
