Story Quotes

I’m terrible at story and structure, but I’m not so bad at writing dialogue Picture Quote #1

The trouble with telling a good story is that it invariably reminds the other fellow of a dull one Picture Quote #1

There’s a story everywhere. Being bored to death someplace is basically a funny proposition. What you have to watch out for is you don’t write a boring story about a boring place Picture Quote #1

The love story for me was the nature of the love and not the age of the lovers Picture Quote #1

The script will point you in certain directions and I go the opposite if I can. I try do do one thing and tell a different story with my eyes. I believe what’s more interesting is always what’s not being said Picture Quote #1

Number one, it was a chance to thank my parents, because they passed away a couple of years ago. They gave me so much by giving me the opportunity to play soccer, and I wanted to share the story we had together Picture Quote #1

Ours is the old, old story of every uprising race or class or order. The work of elevation must be wrought by ourselves or not at all Picture Quote #1

I have written 20 books, and each one is like having a baby. Writing is not easy; some people want to write books but just can’t put a story together. I can put together a story that interests both me and my readers Picture Quote #1

If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they’re more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way Picture Quote #1

There’s got to be something you want to tell and that’s the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you’re telling to be a filmmaker Picture Quote #1

You’re encouraged to pitch your own story. That way, you’ll have more control over what you do Picture Quote #1

I found out a long time ago that if I didn’t have a good story for a song, I could just make one up! Now it seems over half the stories in my show are made up. The funny thing is, those seem to be the ones that resonate the most with the audiences Picture Quote #1

The awful thing, as a kid reading, was that you came to the end of the story, and that was it. I mean, it would be heartbreaking that there was no more of it Picture Quote #1

I also wanted to do something that I hadn’t really seen in almost any black novels, which was a complex love story in which both people were extremely intelligent and talented and understood a lot of things and were still at odds getting it together Picture Quote #1

The thing with film and theater is that you always know the story so you can play certain cues in each scene with the knowledge that you know where the story’s going to end and how it’s going to go. But on television nobody knows what’s going to happen, even the writers Picture Quote #1

In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow Picture Quote #1

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story Picture Quote #1

I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place Picture Quote #1

History’s like a story in a way: it depends on who’s telling it Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a story about an epiphany in which I suddenly realised I wanted to be an actor. It was much more a case of the idea dawning on me gradually Picture Quote #1

I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it’s very similar Picture Quote #1

I try to trace the connection between the characters and that way a story or plot emerges Picture Quote #1

My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly Picture Quote #1

Networks don’t want a show with a continuing story. There’s no backend potential Picture Quote #1

There’s a personal story of my own that I will write at some point, and it’s a film that I will happily make. It could very well be the next thing I do, unless someone shows me something great Picture Quote #1

One of the things we’ve always tried to do is help others with our story. Whether it’s with the infertility issues, whether it’s with the breast cancer, we said we’re gonna turn these negatives into positives. And if we can help others by sharing our story, then it’s worth it Picture Quote #1

I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what’s going to happen and you can predict the whole story Picture Quote #1
