In my family, telling stories is just a way of life.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.

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.

I do live with the very real possibility that we don't have endless stories to tell.

You have only so many chances to tell stories. I didn't want to be forever wedded to one form of storytelling when there are so many out there.

Most people don't know how to tell stories.

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

I tell stories. That's what I do. I've always told stories.

We all have stories we're living and telling ourselves.
