All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

The best story is the story that gets to the most people.

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

I look for a good story. Usually the best stories are the ones that are unbelievably true. 'Soul Surfer' is one of those stories.

The best stories come from real life.

I have always loved story - I escaped within it as a child, I read every day, I love figuring out the complex layers of an author's work.

The best stories come out of the truth.

I like any story that starts one place and really takes a huge journey to a whole new place; that people in their life want to take that journey. They want to be able to find things in their life that aren't working and work through them to a new place of change.

I don't want to steal anybody's story. I very much want to use the stories that I hear to get lost in my mind, to tell a larger story.

There are a few really fantastic stories left, and that kind of gives you some inspiration to find even new ones.
