Storytelling Quotes

What I think networks do so well are big, fun, accessible, invite everybody into the tent kinds of storytelling, akin to an early Spielberg movie or a Michael Crichton novel.

What we, or at any rate what I, refer to confidently as memory--meaning a moment, a scene, a fact that has been subjected to a fixative and thereby rescued from oblivion--is really a form of storytelling that goes on continually in the mind and often changes with the telling.

In any case, in talking about the past we lie with every breath we draw.

So by all means, study film, but as with any reference, the results are better when they inform the craft and not dictate it.
