Frazzled and delirious, as I've just finished a new book of stories. I feel like Moses staggering down the mountainside with the tablets of stone.
I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.
But I think everybody should write. I think those people with stories who don't write should be stomped on.
I've always been involved with charities and things like that, but when I started communicating with the fans and hearing their stories about the lives they lead, it really made an impact on me.
I think it's because it was an emotional story, and emotions come through much stronger in black and white. Colour is distracting in a way, it pleases the eye but it doesn't necessarily reach the heart.
If you look at my last songs and first short stories, there is a real connection between them.
You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.
I think if a story has a message it should be incidental and accidental, otherwise it leans too close to indoctrination.
We want to open digg up to just about anyone and everyone that wants to express their interest in any type of news story or Web content.
I find that writing is as magical as the genre I write in. When the story comes alive and takes over, it's truly a journey to another world.
While some debate its helpfulness at generating monetizable traffic, when Digg points to a story, huge audience spikes quickly follow.
Each director is different. Clint Eastwood and Chris Nolan are completely different, and I need to adjust to the story and character and the director and just my duty as an actor.
It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process.
I think statistics go in one ear and out the other. All of us respond to stories more than numbers.
I have written a few children's books. The first book that I wrote was for children. It was called 'The Package', and it was a mystery story in pictures. It had no words.
My wishes before I die, to fulfill my mission on earth; The writing of my life stories to inspired present and future generations.
Your story must told. Live a life legacy- written book or notes. This will be there for many generations to know your rich experiences and knowledge.
The importance and influence of books on me has been cumulative: the result of hearing and reading lots of stories about interesting people and places.
Sometimes just looking into a person's eyes can tell a graphic story and a brilliant novel if you have the ability to turn it into words.
People want to hear your stories about these wonderful experiences you have, and that's what press tours are for.
My research process doesn't vary much. I do a little reading to establish a timeline and decide how I'm going to approach the story.
