Tone is everything.

Tone can be as important as text.

Tone has the living soul.

Tone matters more than words.

Tone is up for grabs in what we do - what's the tone of the scene.

With the black and white films, one was concerned with tone.

Tone is somewhat totalising in that, once I locate it, it tells me what kind of syntax to use, what word choices to make, how much white space to leave on the page, what sentence length, what the rhythmic patterning will be. If I can't find the tone, I sometimes try narrating through the point of view of someone else.

I work really hard not to have a kitsch tone to any of my work, particularly radio stuff, which sometimes goes in that direction on certain programs.

Life mixes tones all the time.

Tone on jazz guitars is a real tough issue.
