Fantasy stories will always be popular, as there are always readers who are willing to escape, freely, to the worlds that the authors create, and spend time with the characters we give life to.
I'm sort lucky in that for me, I'm a writer now. I started as an actor but I'm a writer and so things like 'Wilfred' and shows like that are where I escape to.
I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.
Discover the fulfillment of intimate relationships with flesh-and-blood neighbors and teammates in concrete place and time, and we escape the pressure of mainstream media to channel intimacy only as virtual embrace.
There's something about 'Strictly Come Dancing.' Everywhere I go, people wish me good luck; cabbies toot their horns. It's lovely. I have a theory: in straitened times, there's nothing like a bit of unapologetic escapism.
We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.
Wolf: I'm lookin' for a new punk! Frank Morris: Good luck. Wolf: You don't understand. I just found her!
Hilts: I haven't seen Berlin yet, from the ground or from the air, and I plan on doing both before the war is over.
Ashley-Pitt: [watching Hilts be brought back into camp] I didn't think he'd get caught so soon. Bartlett: He wasn't caught.
Danny: Oh, Hendley. I need a pick. Big, heavy one. Hendley: Only one? Danny: Two would be better.
Bartlett: What about the goon towers? Hilts: That's a chance you're gonna have to take. But they're gonna be watching the compound, not the woods.
Stratwitch: I will not take action against you, now. This is the first day here and there has been much stupidity and carelessness... on both sides!

Katsumoto: This is my son's village. We are deep in the mountains, and the winter is coming. You cannot escape. Nobutada: Jolly Good.

Warden Barrot: [to Papillon upon his release from solitary confinement after two years following his first escape attempt] Your term is completed.
[after Sefton cuts through the barbed wire to let them escape] Sefton: Let's blow, Chauncey. Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: Let's.
Ramón Sampedro: When you can't escape, and you constantly rely on everyone else, you learn to cry by smiling, you know?
