"Fantasy is the very basis of my career, and movies allowed me to make reality of my dreams, breathing life into all the ideas that existed in my mind. Likewise, if the genre of fantasy had never existed, I would never have worked in film." (R. Harryhausen)

"The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is the first movie I remember going to the theater and seeing which had a huge impact on me. And my mother, who's not in the film business or anything, she's the one, when I came home and I asked her specifically who makes the movie. She's the one who said the director." (J. Landis)
