Too often we tell kids pleasant stories devoid of truth, and stories without truth are not good stories. Our audience deserves more from us Picture Quote #1

I need to say to you. There are things in your life that only you will see, stories that only you will hear. If you don’t tell them or write them down, if you don’t make the picture, these things will not be seen, these things will not be heard Picture Quote #1

I love stories about people that, whatever situation they’re in, you can relate to them in a way Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s owning the fact that I have a sensitive disposition along with a rampant imagination that makes up stories and convinces me they’re true. I feel things intensely, and that sometimes brings me on wave of profound sorrow Picture Quote #1

People gave names to things so they could tell stories about them, goddam fairy tales about children who got out alive Picture Quote #1

Our stories arise from our hearts and our souls. In this sense, telling our stories becomes a sacred gesture, opening a clear way to that deep, ecstatic center where we are most uniquely our selves, individual and unique, and yet are ourselves, joined together at the heart Picture Quote #1

The healing that can grow out of the simple act of telling our stories is often quite remarkable. Even more remarkably, this healing is not just our own healing, it is the healing of all women. That’s why, as we tell our stories to ourselves, it is also important to share them with others. This sharing brings a sense of kinship, of sisterhood. We understand that we are not alone in our efforts to become conscious, whole, healthy persons Picture Quote #1

What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling Picture Quote #1

Stories matter. Stories are how we make sense of the world, which doesn’t mean that those stories can’t be stupid and simplistic and full of lies. Stories can exaggerate and offend and they always, always matter Picture Quote #1

I know what kind of things I myself have been irritated by in detective stories. They are often about one or two persons, but they don’t describe anything in the society outside Picture Quote #1

By nature, human beings search for ways to make sense and meaning out of their lives and their world. One way that we make meaning is through the telling of our stories. Stories connect us, teach us, and warn us never to forget Picture Quote #1

If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive Picture Quote #1

This packrat has learned that what the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we loved. In the end, it’s the family stories that are worth the storage Picture Quote #1

When I write songs I write for myself... I’m writing it as a form of expression, and hoping to find an audience, an audience that responds to music that is honest and lyrical and tells stories Picture Quote #1

Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to Picture Quote #1

I don’t have ugly ducklings turning into swans in my stories. I have ugly ducklings turning into confident ducks Picture Quote #1

All I ever wanted to do is to write stories that people will enjoy and feel at home with Picture Quote #1

I believe that if a child has a feel for writing and wants to write, there is an audience. Children should just dive in and go at it. I would encourage children to write about themselves and things that are happening to them. It is a lot easier and they know the subject better if they use something out of their everyday lives as an inspiration. Read stories, listen to stories, to develop an understanding of what stories are all about Picture Quote #1

The stories are what no one wants to talk about. So you make up a story because no one is going to tell you the truth Picture Quote #1
