Since I was a child, I've liked telling stories. Maybe because my father's a director, I grew up loving stories. I'm not good at spinning them at a dinner table because I do go on a bit, but I love writing them, and directing is just a way of editing...
I hear all the time that boys don't like stories about girls. Which never made much sense to me. Wasn't 'Terminator' about a girl? And 'Alien'? Hell, I grew up on 'The Wizard of Oz.' People enjoy stories about anything if they're good stories.
A good writer is basically a story teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind.
The thing I am attracted to is just good writing and stories that are based somewhat in reality.
I want to tell stories and make people feel good. That's when music is at its finest.

A good story, a story resonant and remarkable, can be remade endlessly to tell new sides of itself for new generations of readers.
The story of civilization is, in a sense, the story of engineering - that long and arduous struggle to make the forces of nature work for man's good.

Read sometimes for the story, Bobby. Don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words - the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers that won't do that. But when you find a book that has both good story and good words, t...
If I get lucky and I can choose, I would always choose a really good story and screenplay, even if I don't know the director. If there's a good screenplay, there's a chance that something good is going to happen.

I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black... and I love a good sword fight.
My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.
Good luck in a way is bad luck not occurring, but the world wants stories of how bad luck happened, and how good luck played a savior.
I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.
