To begin with, I want to tell a good story, a story that people will listen to and that they'll think this is true, even if it is a story that might be defined as - as myth or legend or even fanciful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.
All the great legends are Templates for human behavior. I would define a myth as a story that has survived.
In terms of the mechanics of story, myth is an intriguing one because we didn't make myth up; myth is an imprinture of the human condition.
I always take a story that's kind of out there, like an urban myth. I take some possibility that people imagine, that they are familiar with, and try to turn it into a story.
I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.
Myths are stories that explain a natural phenomenon. Before humans found scientific explanations for such things as the moon and the sun and rainbows, they tried to understand them by telling stories.
Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.
Actually, a myth is a story that is not just not true, but it's a story that is especially true. And I think the myth of Jesus is especially true.
A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.
All my stories are like the Greek and Roman myths, and the Egyptian myths, and the Old and New Testament.
