Story Quotes

I don’t want to steal anybody’s story. I very much want to use the stories that I hear to get lost in my mind, to tell a larger story Picture Quote #1

It’s always about finding the right balance between answering some questions and raising new ones to keep your story going Picture Quote #1

I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action Picture Quote #1

I think the tricky balance, the most important thing more than the horror is to have a compelling story, compelling drama, a show about great characters that you care about and you want to come back every week to see what they’re up to Picture Quote #1

I think it’s very important for people to not judge the people you’re playing. You have to find a way to love them because their story is theirs. I just don’t think there would be any use in that Picture Quote #1

If you aren’t having fun, if you aren’t anxious to find out what happens next as you write, then not only will you run out of steam on the story, but you won’t be able to entertain anyone else, either Picture Quote #1

For me, being in front of a camera is a matter of practicing and refining your art. I think, if you’re telling a story worth telling, it’s worth investing the time into developing Picture Quote #1

I hardly ever think about audience. I just try to tell a story for me. I write the kind of story I would like to read Picture Quote #1

Depending on the story that you’re telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody’s story Picture Quote #1

For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people Picture Quote #1

I think writers have to be proactive: they’ve got to use new technology and social media. Yes, it’s hard to get noticed by traditional publishers, but there’s a great deal of opportunity out there if you’ve got the right story Picture Quote #1

I wrote my first short story for a competition and won second prize. Another competition came up and I won first prize. The first story was published in a newspaper. The second went out on radio Picture Quote #1

The movies that work are the ones in which somebody very smart figured out how to take all the thematic material, all the character material, all the filigree, all the beautiful writing, and put it into a story Picture Quote #1

The point about a great story is that it’s got a beginning, a middle and end Picture Quote #1

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place. I never want to be part of something like that, where there’s an agenda there that’s not about telling a story, where its someone getting on a soapbox and preaching their own beliefs onto somebody Picture Quote #1

My mom can’t defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman, with such an open heart. It’s a real hard line, and I crossed it. I took everyone’s life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty Picture Quote #1

On the last drafts, I focus on the words themselves, including the rub of vowels and consonants, stressed and unstressed syllables. Yet even at this stage I’m often surprised. A different ending or a new character shows up and I’m back to where I began, letting the story happen, just trying to stay out of the way Picture Quote #1

I had a job, I got ill, I left the job to get better, and while I was getting better, I wrote some stories. I sent them to some publishers and the fifth one who replied said they’d take them. Then they went bankrupt. Then that bankrupt publisher got bought by a bigger firm. Story: in the end is the beginning, and in the beginning is the end Picture Quote #1

The more limitations you put on a character, often times the better a character you’ll make them, the more interesting the story becomes because the character can’t simply wave a hand and make something happen. They have to work within the framework Picture Quote #1

There’s not as much oxygen in that hot gym and I think it’s great for conditioning. I believe in a lot of boxing. You can train and work on the speed bag and heavy bag, but when you get in the ring with another fighter, it’s a different story. Punches are coming at you, there’s physical contact, muscle against muscle Picture Quote #1

In documentary films, you’re a storyteller using found objects. You still have to have a story arc and all the elements that make a good story. It really helped me mature as a storyteller Picture Quote #1

The important thing about any book is that you have to have a good story and that it has to be exciting. Then it’s nice to add other levels underneath that people can pick up on Picture Quote #1

I love how you can shoot a movie in a month or two or three of four, and it’s this encapsulated story that you box up and ship out into the world, and what it is, is what it is Picture Quote #1

Of course, every time someone does a story on plastic surgery, my name will be dragged up. I’ve made it safe for other people to have plastic surgery. It’s no longer a bad word Picture Quote #1

Fiction writers are strange beasts. They are, like all writers, observers first and foremost. Everything that happens to and around them is potential material for a story, and they look at it that way Picture Quote #1

And I do think that great fiction, even when it’s comedic, has an urgency or an inevitability to it, a sense that the writer absolutely had to write this particular story in this way Picture Quote #1

If I’m gonna tell a real story, I’m gonna start with my name Picture Quote #1

I think that whenever a book is not a challenge, I’m telling the wrong story Picture Quote #1

I think my love is storytelling. No matter what it is, it’s storytelling. And so whatever the medium is, what’s right for the story, I enjoy doing it Picture Quote #1
