I'm not great at bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are supposed to put the kid to sleep. My kid gets riled up and then my wife has to come in and go, 'All right! Get out of the room.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad would tell me bedtime stories, and he used to always leave them open-ended and finish at a crucial point with the words, 'dream on'. Then it was my responsibility to finish the story as I was drifting off to sleep. We would call them dreaming stories.
I was told bedtime stories by my father or my grandmother. Books, I mostly read on my own in bed.
For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents.
I'd love to do some bedtime stories for kids or that kind of thing. But with the demands of the shooting schedule and balancing the demands of being a single mother, it's a wonder you can squeeze in anything.
I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.
The summer after I got divorced, my children asked to sleep in my bed again. It would be the first time we'd shared a bed since they were infants.
I love telling stories from a kid's point of view because they don't really see all the obstacles in front of them. They're resilient, and sometimes adults can steal that from them.
When I was a little kid, I told stories.
I want to tell stories powerful people don't want you to tell. It's not worth getting out of bed otherwise.
I've always enjoyed making up stories, especially when I was bored and just sitting around. It got really serious after the children came along.
