I remember, when I was at school, we would have a 10-minute storytelling session where we'd all sit on the floor cross-legged, and the teacher would read. It became something we all really looked forward to. That was part of the reason I grew to love stories.

What I learned most was how to tell a story in 15 seconds or 30 seconds or 60 seconds - to have some kind of goal of what to try to do and make it happen in that time.

When I was little, I always used to like to tell stories cuz it was entertaining to people.

When I was a little kid, I told stories.

When I was a little kid, before I learned how to write, I would tell stories.

Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children's bedtime rituals of supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the best, most special times I can remember.

I'm one of those people who think that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and then they're over, and then you tell the next story.

When somebody tells you a story, as long as that story lasts, you're caught in this sort of timeless moment.

What's fascinated me from the time I was a little kid was the way we construct our lives through stories.

When all my kids were at home, I used to write from midnight onwards.
