Stories Quotes (page 43)

Eric Brown quote: "I think it's a short story writer's duty, as well as writing..."
I think it's a short story writer's duty, as well as writing well about emotions and characters, to write story. Eric Brown
I had an idea in the beginning to do a book about some of the events that I had covered, just various stories that I've covered. Reporters spend a lot of time telling each other tales about how they covered stories, and that's what this book started out to be. Bob Schieffer
Maximilian Schell quote: "And it's interesting, but I'm always interested in the story..."
And it's interesting, but I'm always interested in the story behind the story. Maximilian Schell
True stories, autobiographical stories, like some novels, begin long ago, before the acts in the account, before the birth of some of the people in the tale. Harold Brodkey

We're trying to tell a very full story of 'Nashville' and these characters in Nashville, and I'm really hopeful that we're going to be able to do something as innovative as 'American Horror Story' and 'Friday Night Lights.' And I think so far, we're on the right path for that. Connie Britton
Beau Bridges quote: "My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a..."
My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character. Beau Bridges
Usually, when I read something, I'm looking for the story first. And then, when I re-read it, I check every part of it to see whether every scene is necessary. You imagine yourself watching the movie, to see whether or not you're losing the through-line of the story. Gus Van Sant
Because they're my stories, they're my version of events of the past three years. But I really hope people can hear their own stories within the songs and they can become our version of events. Emeli Sande
Kenneth Koch quote: "The subject matter of the stories on the surface... there seem..."
The subject matter of the stories on the surface... there seem to be a number of stories about travel. Kenneth Koch
The films that I've done before were original stories most of the time, I did two adaptations before this, but they were mostly original stories where I had complete freedom to evolve in the direction I wanted. Walter Salles
A lot of my stories are inspired by Japanese folklore or literature or movies: I've done stories based on Kabuki and Noh plays, and on Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo' movies. Stan Sakai
The Odyssey is, indeed, one of the greatest of all stories, it is the original romance of the West; but the Iliad, though a magnificent poem, is not much of a story. George Saintsbury
You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it's going to be about something and it does the opposite. Nigel Kneale
