We tell ourselves stories in order to live.

If we don't tell our own stories, no one else will.

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.

We are made of the stories we have heard and read all through our lives.

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.

In many ways, I've been writing personal stories all my life.

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

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.
