Story Quotes

If I had my choice, I’d pick a song that tells a story every time. There is a great deal of pleasure in doing the vocal on a number that you can put feeling into Picture Quote #1

It’s a great story. It’s available for anyone else who wants to try it. We’re not brilliant. We’re not unbelievable. We’re just two people who hit a nerve. I think it can be done again and again and again. More people should try it Picture Quote #1

And what it depends on, of course, is whether the story itself is worth the ethical compromise it requires and whether the competition is onto the story Picture Quote #1

I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling Picture Quote #1

Because you’re telling a story, and I’m sure people fifty years ago would tell the same story differently if they were telling it to you today. Because the time is different. The film is the work of today’s audience Picture Quote #1

Everyone is trying to do something that hasn’t been done and that’s a really good thing. You can only do so much with a story and some scripts don’t give you the opportunities and other scripts do give you the opportunities to do things that haven’t been done before Picture Quote #1

I’m not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published Picture Quote #1

For me it was really important to get the essence out of the music for the story and not, sort of, press the music into the service of the whimsical telling of it Picture Quote #1

Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song Picture Quote #1

I don’t have the energy or the mental security to get involved with all that. I think it’s a good idea to be able to disappear into the story, so that the first thing the audience sees isn’t you, but the part Picture Quote #1

The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell Picture Quote #1

I don’t stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go Picture Quote #1

As a rule, anyone who can tell a good story can write one, so there really need be no mistake about his qualification; such a man will be careful not to be wearisome, and to keep his point, or his catastrophe, well in hand Picture Quote #1

The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives Picture Quote #1

I’m doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it Picture Quote #1

I don’t really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don’t, it’s like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line Picture Quote #1

No one has really heard my side of the story, the adventure we had together, the transformation that I had going from a schoolgirl to a woman overnight Picture Quote #1

My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That’s what directors are, they’re storytellers because they’re directing where your focus is going to be as an audience Picture Quote #1

It is the creator of fiction’s point of view; it is the character who interests him. Sometimes he wants to convince the reader that the story he is telling is as interesting as universal history Picture Quote #1

To have one’s own story told by a third party who doesn’t know that the character in question is himself the hero of the story being told, that’s a technical refinement Picture Quote #1

If I didn’t get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn’t significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn’t want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It’s such a vicious business to be in when you’re not meant to be in it Picture Quote #1

It’s not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It’s a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I’m not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don’t Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows me and my wife’s story. We didn’t have sex until we got married Picture Quote #1

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn’t matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing Picture Quote #1

I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story Picture Quote #1

You have to suspend disbelief a little bit to buy into your situation and to the story and to how the character will react. You have to tweak your credibility a little bit, is basically what it comes down to Picture Quote #1

There’s no story if there isn’t some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it’s more or less the norm Picture Quote #1

Usually when I’m making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn’t quite been in before Picture Quote #1

Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there’s the bad guy in the back seat. It’s infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That’s like going to bed and thinking there’s a monster under your bed. It’s silly Picture Quote #1
