The best stories you usually hear are stories that people feel some type of urgency about Picture Quote #1

I had a lot of expectations placed on me because I was already having some success with my short stories. That was not a good situation to be in. That by itself took a long time to overcome Picture Quote #1

I think it’s hard for an outsider to capture the flavor of a community and all its nuances, so ultimately Haitian-Americans need to start sharing intimate accounts of their stories Picture Quote #1

I wanted to tell stories that moved. Nothing stays the same, and that’s why photography is important. The world flickers and changes, and that’s why video is important Picture Quote #1

I do find stories - or literary fiction - an apt form for analyzing the world. And especially for trying to imagine the other. An agenda, again, that seems more important now than ever Picture Quote #1

Clearly, I’m committed to women’s issues and stories and promoting gender equality. I have two incredible role models in Jenji [Kohan] and Shonda [Rhimes] Picture Quote #1

We need the skeletons of other stories to understand our own, sometimes Picture Quote #1

Recording stories is a way of honoring the faculty of memory, even if it’s recorded, outsourcing memory to technology Picture Quote #1

Even if you’re in charge of the grand story there’s still memory. The other stories do not go away Picture Quote #1

There is no border in my films. You can see yourself in these stories. This is the greatest thing about the power of cinema. It’s very present. It’s all there. You can’t escape it Picture Quote #1

Even the sad roots songs have a lot of good stories to them, and the murder ballads are good too. I mean, who doesn’t like to watch a nice gory murder film on TV? Picture Quote #1

I don’t like stories where I’m being given pages and pages of detail Picture Quote #1

It may be old hat, but I see no reason to close off what is for me a fruitful subject of inquiry, especially so for one, like me, who is very much interested in creating stories and novels of ideas Picture Quote #1

I loved short stories, and they were all I wanted to write. I love the compression of them and the exactitude needed to get a whole world into such a small space Picture Quote #1
