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.

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.
Obviously, for me, story is first and foremost, even in the face of the attractive idea of having all the cast there, or having a great piece of talent come to it.
If I had my choice, I'd pick a song that tells a story every time. There is a great deal of pleasure in doing the vocal on a number that you can put feeling into.
And the most important thing - apart from telling a good, believable story, and being a true character - is to be someone the audience will care about, even if you're playing a murderer or rapist.
A good picture book should have events that are visually arresting - the pictures should call attention to what is happening in the story.
Read, read, read. Read good books. You will strengthen your understanding of story. Your vocabulary will be the richer for it.
I always go with the story and character and if those are good and if the setting is something that's scary (horror films seem to always take place at night and the weather's always bad) then I might be interested.
Women basically want the same thing - a good passionate story, a great fantasy - and for our partners to do the laundry and the washing up.
