I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.
Erin Morgenstern
I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it.

People don’t pay much attention to anything unless you give them reason to
Erin Morgenstern
Where do you get your ideas? people ask. Sometimes they’re at the bottoms of cups of tea. Sometimes they’re lurking in my shower. Sometimes they’re waiting patiently in glass cases in museums.
Erin Morgenstern
And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.
Erin Morgenstern
I cannot let a place that is so important to so many people fade away. Something that is wonder and comfort and mystery all together that they have nowhere else. If you had that, wouldn't you want to keep it?
Erin Morgenstern
I think I get some of my love of adult books that can be fun from Douglas Adams.
Erin Morgenstern
I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. There's a reason why they're sometimes called fairy lights. When the night is right, there aren't any strings at all.

He spends the majority of the evening in the company of Celia Bowen, whose elaborate gown changes color, shifting through a rainbow of hues to compliment whoever she is closest to.
Erin Morgenstern
I think looking forward will be better than looking back.
