Hi Jen. Please forgive the intrusion. Just for the record, the word is "GRAMMAR". To answer your question, the correct version would be :

"I want this more THAN you can imagine," Steve said.

Cheers :nana:

In the US, periods and commas always go inside the quotations marks.
It's the same in the UK.
Also the question mark stays in the quotes, as in:
"Do you want this?" asked Steve.

"Now that is one piece of information that is very helpful to me," I replied.

"You should have paid attention in class, 12to8, " said Tanyachrs.

Snooper laughed, "Give him a break, he's a Yank!"
 
"I want this more than than you can imagine," - is the correct way as I have been educated.

For what it's worth.

... Btw, snooper, I'm shocked, shocked, shocked that someone with a Nero Wolfe quotation in his signature line uses the word "quote" instead of "quotation mark." Tsk.
We aim to shock ...
