There's no question that photographs communicate more instantly and powerfully than words do, but if you want to communicate a complex concept clearly, you need words, too.

It really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don't, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don't need to have all this talking.

The way we tell our stories on stage is that we use spoken word to convey action, and in movies, we use visual images to convey action.

You know, photo conversations are replacing verbal conversations. I don't know if that's a bad thing. A photo is worth a thousand words.

For some time it's been my habit to use images when preparing a speech: rather than write it down, I illustrate it.

I think people remember pictures not dialogue. That's why I like pictures.

I've always been better at informing the audience through images than through words, but I took on a script that was so dialogue-intensive, that the words had to do all the informing.

We live in an image society. Speeches are not what anybody cares about; what they care about is the picture.

As writers, we do our best to conjure a world so vivid that the reader can practically walk through it - but we're still only using words and relying on readers to do a lot of work of imagining. Providing pictures as well as words offers a whole new dimension to the experience of consuming a story.

I do all my speeches in pictures. If I wrote words, I'd get locked in on them.
