I really don't care about plot. I really, really don't.

I don't like plots. I don't know what a plot means. I can't stand the idea of anything that starts in the beginning - you know, 'beginning, middle and end.'

I get fed up with plots that are driven by someone constantly getting information on a computer.

I don't really write plots. I use history as the engine that drives everything.

I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are.

I'm very good at plot.

I don't plot my novels - I move along with my characters.

Plotting is difficult for me, and always has been. I do that before I actually start writing, but I always do characters, and the arc of the story, first... You can't do anything without a story arc. Where is it going to begin, where will it end.

You don't idea your way into a plot but plot your way into an idea.

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about.
