I love to write what I see and what I do and what I experience, and I like to see if people can relate to that. I don't know if I am as good at making up a story in my head that has no truth to it, so that is a challenge for me.

We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.

In my family, telling stories is just a way of life.

I think the hardest stories we tell are always the ones about ourselves. And as a journalist, I was taught that I'm never supposed to put myself in the story. So I spent what, 11, 12 years of my life writing about other people so I don't have to face my own life.

I love to tell stories. It's a delight for me.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths.

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

This is my life - I want to tell stories. There is something huge inside me that pushes me to tell stories, and tell stories for an audience and everybody.

I'm a writer. I just love telling stories.
