I will not go into a story unprepared. I will do my homework, and that's something I learned at an early age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.
There really isn't a story that you can't tell inside of it. It's very much a clearinghouse for anything that goes on in the world. So you're not at all limited.
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
I always knew I was going to grow up to be a storyteller; that's one of the earliest things I remember about myself. There was never a question of me not writing.
Show me the story. I just want to tell a story that pulls me forward.
I'm not writing fairy tales or object lessons.
You can't tell a story linearly if you want people to understand.
When I am writing anything in general, I just want to tell the story that exists in my head; I don't try to write a parable or make a point.
I don't ever want to impose something on the story. I want the story to tell me.
Write the story you need to tell and want to read. It's impossible to know what others want, so don't waste time trying to guess.
