Storytelling is important. Part of human continuity.

Storytelling is the essential human activity. The harder the situation, the more essential it is.

Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.

Well, if storytelling is important, then your narrative ability, or your ability to put into words or use what someone else has put into words effectively, is important too.

I love storytelling.

Telling stories and having them received is so important. That dialogue is everything. I tell my students all the time that what separates us as human beings is our ability to hold stories. Our narrative history. There is so much power in that. Storytelling is our human industry.

To me the most important thing is a good story, though I know how cliche that sounds.

Storytelling is about two things; it's about character and plot.

The most important thing is story-telling. It's as singular and old-fashioned as that.

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.
