I think there are narratives going on all the time that we think of as tangential - up until they turn out to be deciding factors in our lives.

I think storytelling is all about children. We human beings love to hear stories being told - and it first happens when you're a kid.

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.

I always take a story that's kind of out there, like an urban myth. I take some possibility that people imagine, that they are familiar with, and try to turn it into a story.

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

I think we need to tell stories that reflect our world.

Stories and narratives are one of the most powerful things in humanity. They're devices for dealing with the chaotic danger of existence.

A story is how we construct our experiences.

I do see myself as someone who has a lot of story ideas.

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.
