Quote

Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.

I think you tell the story that has to be told. You tell the story that's the truth. You tell the story that readers will be interested in and should know about.

We're always just telling stories, and stories are always just approximations of the truth. It's never the truth exactly.

If you're gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don't do it.

I think, as writers, our first responsibility is to writing an honest story. Tell the story you want to tell, without pulling your punches.

Sometimes stories are inherently important whether or not they have a direct relation to your life.

People love a good story, even if it's a story that has very little truth to it.

It's often said that everybody has a story to tell, and I suppose that's true, but the problem is that most of them aren't worth telling.

If you really want to tell stories, do it and don't be dissuaded.

There are definitely some stories worth telling and I think there's something to be said for telling your story.
