Quote

There's conflict in every story.

A lot of times, we also have to live and work. You have to make money to pay rent. In that respect, I don't think you can be so demanding. Those great stories are not the normal stories that come on a daily basis. It's a struggle to land those roles. Everybody is looking for the good parts.

Good stories are driven by conflict, tension, and high stakes.

Tension is the cornerstone of any good story.

Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.

As we get older, we demand stories that go somewhere. Things must change.

Everyone has a story.

People love stories. They need stories.

Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.

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