Stories Quotes

I have always loved to read, and now that I have penned 10 novels and a few magazine articles, I have fallen seriously in love with writing stories and seeing them go out into the world. It’s magical, you know? Picture Quote #1

Certain stories we carry with us, events in our life, they define who we are. It’s not a matter of getting over anything; we have to make the best of it Picture Quote #1

The comics were not only stories to enjoy; for me they were drawings that possessed me Picture Quote #1

I’ve written original material before, where I’ve come up with the idea and the characters myself, and that’s definitely very different to working with someone else’s characters and stories Picture Quote #1

I loved ghost stories, creaky staircases, stormy nights. If it guaranteed nightmares I read it by flashlight, after midnight Picture Quote #1

I still read romance, and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with strong characters, and I like stories where there’s closure at the end. And I like stories where there’s hope. That’s a kind of empowerment. I think romance novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too Picture Quote #1

My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer you’re constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories Picture Quote #1

It’s hard enough to tell good stories about people who analyze information for a living. It’s even harder to do a good show about people who think for a living Picture Quote #1

There are a million ideas in a world of stories. Humans are storytelling animals. Everything’s a story, everyone’s got stories, we’re perceiving stories, we’re interested in stories. So to me, the big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what’s the right way to tell a particular story Picture Quote #1

Stories do not change the world. I’ve learned that. But perhaps in some secret, subtle way... I mean it’s not the world I want to change Picture Quote #1

You try to pick good stories, and that’s pretty much all the control you have as an actor Picture Quote #1

In the old days, I just could not leave characters alone. Now I just try to keep the ones that still have something in the way of stories to tell Picture Quote #1

There are definitely some stories worth telling and I think there’s something to be said for telling your story Picture Quote #1

I’ve gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven’t really been able to tell Picture Quote #1

Crime stories show us the part of people’s lives they try to keep hidden Picture Quote #1

I have a couple of girlfriends who’ve told me some horror stories but I’ve never had a really terrible kiss before Picture Quote #1

My stories are very compact. I want them to say the most complex things in the simplest way Picture Quote #1

When I started writing my stories, I thought that not only nobody outside my language, but nobody outside my neighbourhood would get them Picture Quote #1

I travel so much on stories, so I don’t take vacation much, but one place I go back to again and again is my ranch Picture Quote #1

When my nine goes buck, it will bust your head like a watermelon dropping 12 stories up Picture Quote #1

Every movie that I do, if you analyze the stories, you can notice that in each story, that within the movie after the first 15 minutes, it could fall apart. Or every 10 minutes it has the chance that you lose the thread. On the other hand, if you succeed in putting them together, then the movie looks spontaneous and more like cinema Picture Quote #1

I’m not as good a writer as I’d like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a writer who photographs. Images, for me, can be considered poems, short stories or essays. And I’ve always thought the best place for my photographs was inside books of my own creation Picture Quote #1

I put my life in danger every time I do some of these demonstrations, whether it’s in the audience hanging upside down or on the stage. We now have a lot of dangerous stunts where anything can go wrong. In fact, I have fallen two stories and landed on the stage, so I am well aware of the dangers Picture Quote #1

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell Picture Quote #1

I really love storytelling, and I love the stories as they reveal themselves. It’s an incredibly nourishing process; it’s probably the closest I come to having a religion Picture Quote #1

I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting Picture Quote #1

I like telling stories about people with problems. I can’t really put it much simpler than that Picture Quote #1

Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure Picture Quote #1

It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader. If you do not believe in the characters or the story you are doing at that moment with all your mind, strength, and will, if you don’t feel joy and excitement while writing it, then you’re wasting good white paper, even if it sells, because there are other ways in which a writer can bring in the rent money besides writing bad or phony stories Picture Quote #1
