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.

A story is how we construct our experiences.

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

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

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

If you want somebody to tell you a story, one of the most easiest and effective ways is if you're telling them a story.

The telling of stories creates the real world.

Stories, as we're taught in journalism school early on, are told through people. Those stories make our documentaries powerful. You can explore someone's culture, you can explore their experience, you can explore an issue through human beings who are going through it.

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.

I never limit myself when it comes to telling stories; I think people can see that in my body of work. It's just about, 'What's a great story? Is it unique? Is it a challenge?'
