I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives.
I went to Sunday School and liked the stories about Christ and the Christmas star. They were beautiful. They made you warm and happy to think about. But I didn't believe them.
I always believed 'The Fly' to be a classic opera story. It's a tale of love and death, true love surviving in the face of physical decay and ultimate sacrifice.
We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.
Sometimes, I get ideas from dreams. Often, my stories are based on adventures that I, or my friends, have actually lived.
Fairy tales read before bed tend to make me dream. They're all quite violent stories, as are my dreams.
I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.
Through the ages, God has used the church to keep alive and pass down the story of what Christ has done for us.
God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.
'I Am Number Four' is a great story about a guy who's trying to find his destiny and figure out who he is and his identity.
San Francisco is a breathtakingly beautiful city, with lots of great contrasts between dark and light, often overlapping each other. It's a great setting for a horror story.
I'm definitely not your stereotypical actor: the loud, cackling type who strolls into a room and grabs everyone's attention with a great story. I've always been much more of a listener.
I just come up with the stories and write them as well as I can. There's not really a great deal of strokey-beard thinking going on.
I do sometimes watch 'Dr. Who' and while the stories barely make sense, if at all, the doctor is such great company I don't care.
I'm a great believer in research. I have to know about a place before I write a story that is set in that place.
We see great growth in the United States. But also in China, Brazil, the U.K., and other markets around the world. So ecommerce is going to continue to be a great story for Walmart.
All great political families have myths: stories they tell themselves about how history happened.
I'd like to think at some point instead of it being a woman's film or a man's film, it is just a great story, and both sexes can go and get the same enjoyment out of it.
He invented this idea of telling the life story of a great writer through becoming his characters and becoming him. It was such a pleasure and I thought we must find another writer.
I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.
I don't have a great respect for reality or getting the 'facts' as a means of putting together a story.
