and their days make no story for they were good and joyful and without event

Storytelling was the most honored of all talents, for it benefited everyone.

There is no society that does not highly value fictional storytelling. Ever.

I enjoy writing fiction more than writing anything else. Wouldn't anyone?

I wanted not the momentary suspense but the whole world to which it belonged.

All sorrows can be born if you put them in a story or tell a story about them.

But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.

Things in life have no real beginning, though our stories about them always do.

A Writer is Actor, Creator, Director & Producer Of HIS Life. Ask ME anything.

A long time ago someone told me that a story will tell itself, when it's ready.

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

My father used to say that stories are part of the most precious heritage of mankind.

(...) a director should tell a story that is close to his own existential experience.

That's the strange thing about a good story. No pleasure if you can't share it.

A story has its purpose and its path. It must be told correctly for it to be understood.
