Girls are the best readers in the world. Reading is really a way of kind of escaping so deeply into yourself and pursuing your own thoughts within the construct of a story Picture Quote #1

I know how to tell a story to a thousand people. Sometimes I don’t know how to tell a story to a piece of tape on a wall and a camera Picture Quote #1

When I do watch shows, or projects that I’ve been a part of, I’m pretty good at watching them objectively. And that’s mostly because I want to see how it came out overall, what the overall story was and how it came together visually, what my mates were doing Picture Quote #1

When you’re not playing the hero of the story, then you have to know that you’re always a foil for the good guy. I love playing that. I think that’s always an interesting place to be Picture Quote #1

Comedy is similar to hockey... in only one way. You get a lot of credit for assists. So I try to serve whatever the intention is, be it the joke or the story or the scene or the moment or the kiss, even if it’s not my joke or moment Picture Quote #1

I still like the relationship part of any story. You don’t want your character to figure everything out and then at the end of the day, go home and eat soup from a can by herself Picture Quote #1

I think original voices get noticed. But most importantly, I think you should have a story to tell Picture Quote #1

What has always surprised me when I walk into a bookstore is the number of books that you can find that are written with certainty. The authors tell some story as though it’s true, but they don’t have any evidence that it is true! Picture Quote #1

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you’re there to tell a story Picture Quote #1

When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter to their life story that shows them overcoming the hardship. This skill is particularly important for children, whose identity tends to get locked in during adolescence Picture Quote #1

The way to tell a really big story, I think, is to tell a really small story 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

When I begin a story at my desk, the window to my back, the path is not there. As I start to walk, I make the path Picture Quote #1

A message I’ve been telling myself: the cinema is very conservative, and unless you have a story that satisfies you, that is within the unchallenging zone, but you love it, you can’t do it as cinema. Otherwise, you better go do it for television, which is more daring now Picture Quote #1

When I decide to write a story, I don’t think too much about what I want it to be, I just let things come naturally and this is how it turns out. It’s just how my subconscious works Picture Quote #1

What you never want to do is have a story that doesn’t track emotionally, because then you’re going joke to joke and you’re going to fatigue the audience. The only thing that’s going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is Picture Quote #1

I’ve always known when I start a story what the last line is. It’s always been the case, since the first story I ever wrote. I don’t know how it’s going to get there, but I seem to need the destination. I need to know where I end up. It never changes, ever Picture Quote #1

I started writing by doing small related things but not the thing itself, circling it and getting closer. I had no idea how to write fiction. So I did journalism because there were rules I could learn. You can teach someone to write a news story. They might not write a great one, but you can teach that pretty easily Picture Quote #1

American violence is public life, it’s a public way of life, it became a form, a detective story form. So I should think that any number of black writers should go into the detective story form Picture Quote #1

Whichever character I’m using and wherever I am in my mind dictates what kind of story I’m going to tell Picture Quote #1

For me, the reason to make the movie is that if people like the comic, then people would like the movie if it was well made. There are good movies for them, but very few. And I mean that in a true sense. If they love your story for freaking 30 years, then they can do a movie about it Picture Quote #1

I had always shown childhood as something difficult, something you want to get the hell out of, but now I wanted to do a story that was the opposite, about that moment in time when you’re in that world of discovery, doing what you want to do. That fleeting moment when you’re in your zone Picture Quote #1

You set out to tell a good story. You don’t do it because there is a deep message involved because the movie is almost always bad when you do that Picture Quote #1
