The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
I'm actually a very romantic person, and I would like to play in a love story. As long as it doesn't get too sweet. That's not me.
I am a tremendous 'Star Wars' fan; I know the story means an enormous love to me. I love the characters.
As a professional writer of detective stories, I string along with the ballplayers. I love a ball game.
I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don't.
Human beings love stories because they safely show us beginnings, middles and ends.
I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.
The world would be a very sad place if readers could only love one story.
I actually love going to a lot of theater movies. I just love watching actors work and seeing how people tell stories.
I'm all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they're just listening to the song.
Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
Music does not carry you along. You have to carry it along strictly by your ability to really just focus on that little small kernel of emotion or story.
Look at the darkest hit musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - they are exuberant experiences. They send you out of the theater filled with music.
If rock-and-roll is well done, there's nothing so terribly wrong with that kind of music. But the lyrics are another story.
If I just did music, I might go insane. I need words; I need stories. And it's the same the other way around.
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.
I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that's fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it.
When we did the pilot, I sort of pictured this guy pirating a signal and then this story unfolding of him building this satellite and these robots and watching these bad movies.
I like telling stories, I like movies, and I want to work on films. I think I would feel safer behind the camera.
The way we tell our stories on stage is that we use spoken word to convey action, and in movies, we use visual images to convey action.
