Story Quotes

For a story to be told, it must be told properly, and to tell a story properly, it must be told with respect Picture Quote #1

In a story, the craftsmanship is fully exposed. A novel is like charity; it covers a multitude of faults Picture Quote #1

I think you tell the story that has to be told. You tell the story that’s the truth. You tell the story that readers will be interested in and should know about Picture Quote #1

The more work you put in on your outline and getting the skeleton of your story right, the easier the process is later Picture Quote #1

As someone with a novelistic background, I just didn’t have much interest in creating stories by committee. I don’t think you necessarily get the best story through that approach Picture Quote #1

For me, the main inspiration to write a story or novel is the voice of its central character, or the narrative voice of the story itself Picture Quote #1

I’ve just always written, and always considered myself a writer. I wrote my first story when I was five. There was nothing else I wanted to do or be Picture Quote #1

Everyone has a story, the air is full of stories. The creative process is mysterious, I don’t know why it is that suddenly a theme will take hold of me and refuse to leave me in peace until I investigate it and write it Picture Quote #1

To my friends and people I care about, I’m a really nice guy. No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that’s not funny. I only write about the funny stuff Picture Quote #1

I won’t even think about acting in a role where I didn’t do a back story for a character Picture Quote #1

I grew up with some kind of storytelling instinct, and when I write, my default setting is to find a story and then to tell it. It’s the only way I know how to write Picture Quote #1

There’s a story behind every old ballad or work song or nonsense song that I ever knew. Sometimes it’s a fascinating story. A story of people struggling for freedom, struggling to get along in this old world Picture Quote #1

If I’m writing a story and you’re reading it, or vice versa, you took time out of your day to pick up my book. I think the one thing that will kill that relationship is if you feel me condescending to you in the process Picture Quote #1

The only reason to buy a paper book any longer is to own it and cherish it and remember it and tell a story about it Picture Quote #1

One of the things I didn’t like about school is that every time they told a story about a rich guy in school, he was an evil guy. Our school system is programming us to think the rich are greedy and evil Picture Quote #1

Fiction is truth. I think fiction is the truest thing there ever was. My whole effort is to remove that distinction. The writer is the midwife of understanding. It’s very important for me to tell politics like a story, to make it real Picture Quote #1

I remember the horror story that I told myself over and over again. I’m totally alone in my body. I’m totally alone in my head and nobody will ever see through my eyes. I’m just completely alone Picture Quote #1

History is a story of violence at work. It all comes down to the old saw that, however much you can gain with a kind word, you can gain more with a kind word and a gun Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can teach someone how to come up with good characters or a story Picture Quote #1

The music takes on all different jobs and hopefully is part of telling the story. Each song has to be a story unto itself. It’s a very different set of muscles Picture Quote #1

You are. I’m just fatalistically cheerful. We all come into the story halfway through, we all catch up as best we can, and we’re all gonna die before it ends Picture Quote #1

A real love story is sometimes exhausting. A romance is deliberately constructed to yield a certain result; the ambiguities are trimmed out, so it’s neater and more pleasing to our hearts. But you don’t live a love story, you live a life Picture Quote #1

Step beyond right and wrong, and resist passing judgment. Who you’ve been and what you’ve experienced in the past isn’t good... and it isn’t bad. You might not know the whole story Picture Quote #1

When you’re playing a real person there’s a balance between playing the person in the script and playing the person as he was in life. You have to be respectful and true to who that person was, but at the same time tell the story in the film Picture Quote #1

The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you’re always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You’re always protected Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt you unearth story, like you’re on an archeological dig Picture Quote #1

When something is dramatized, it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news Picture Quote #1

No matter how many times you forget it, you can turn around and help someone. Or you can deliver a positive message or share with someone or just listen to someone share their story with you, it’s just the best gift there is. And it’s free Picture Quote #1

When you direct a movie, you’re basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director’s vision, and I’m totally open for that Picture Quote #1
