Teller Quotes

Penn and Teller love the very intellectual side of magic. Me, I’m more fun than them. They never look like they’re having fun. They look angry Picture Quote #1

My dad was a cop. My mom worked at various jobs - she worked as a homemaker, a bank teller, a bartender Picture Quote #1

A story is already over before we hear it. That is how the teller knows what it means Picture Quote #1

I had an audition for Mary Jane Watson in ‘Spiderman’ and ended up playing Betty Brant in that series. I auditioned for Amy Adams’ role in ‘Catch Me If You Can’ and, you know, ended up playing the bank teller. So there were a lot of times early on where I felt like I was always sort of the bridesmaid, never the bride - never quite right Picture Quote #1

You can believe in originals only if you just don’t know their context within literature. Certainly I believe in originality, but it lies with the teller, not the tale Picture Quote #1

The story of a life can be as long or as short as the teller wishes. Whether the life is tragic or enlightened, the classic gravestone inscription marking simply the dates of birth and death has, in its brevity, much to recommend it Picture Quote #1

I do like the idea of consequence and how our actions play themselves out, but I am completely scared of knowing what the future would be like. I would never go near a fortune teller, even though it’s probably not even real. I just don’t wanna know Picture Quote #1

In Western dream interpretation, it’s often connected to psychotherapy and looking at the personality and what’s going on in your life. In Eastern dream telling, many times there’s this idea of a special gift. And without this gift, you could study and study, but you’d never really become an effective dream teller Picture Quote #1

When you’re a story teller, you work out everything. You work out who these people are, what’s going to be happening. The environment in which they live Picture Quote #1

One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we’re in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality Picture Quote #1

To me there’s no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They’re all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful Picture Quote #1

You will be fine,’ the fortune teller says. ‘There may be decisions to make and surprises in store. Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that Picture Quote #1

When I was twelve, a fortune teller told me that my one true love would die young and leave me all alone.. Everyone said she was a fraud, that she was just making it up.. I’d really like to know why the hell a person would make up a thing like that Picture Quote #1

This was how I would die. Strangled by an attractive, seminaked woman inside a fridge with a giant tarantula in the middle of a sea of carnivorous jam. As I blacked out, all I could think of was a fortune teller I’d spoken to a few years ago, and how full of shit she’d turned out to be Picture Quote #1

I’m a taker in terms of jokes. I love to hear a good joke, but I don’t retain jokes. I’m not a good teller of jokes Picture Quote #1

The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth Picture Quote #1

Story is a relationship between the teller and the listener, a responsibility. After the listening you become accountable for the sacred knowledge that has been shared Picture Quote #1

Never trust the teller, trust the tale. The proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it Picture Quote #1

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true story teller who would keep that from you Picture Quote #1

Death is the sanction of everything the story teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death Picture Quote #1

That was the best kind of story: when the teller was as much under its spell as the listener Picture Quote #1

I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period Picture Quote #1

It’s an odd thing but when you tell someone the true facts of a mythical tale they are indignant not with the teller but with you. They don’t want to have their ideas upset. It rouses some vague uneasiness in them, I think, and they resent it. So they reject it and refuse to think about it. If they were merely indifferent it would be natural and understandable. But it is much stronger than that, much more positive. They are annoyed. Very odd, isn’t it Picture Quote #1

Before you leave, the fortune teller reminds you that the future is never set in stone Picture Quote #1

The most powerful person in the world is the story teller. The storyteller sets the vision, values and agenda of an entire generation that is to come Picture Quote #1

You can believe in originals only if you just don’t know their context within literature. Certainly I believe in originality, but it lies with the teller, not the tale Picture Quote #1

Change is the essence of life; change is the great challenge, the great constant. Change is the ultimate teller of tales Picture Quote #1

What fortune teller would ever have had the nerve to predict that the best years of my life would turn out to be my old age? Picture Quote #1

But history is a faithless teller whose cruel recourse to hindsight makes fools of its actors Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a difference between making comedy and reporting comedy. When you’re a joke teller you can easily fall into the second, you can show up and just say the jokes Picture Quote #1
