I try to trace the connection between the characters and that way a story or plot emerges.
Anita Desai

Whatever life we have experienced, if we can tell our story to someone who listens, we find it easier to deal with our circumstances.
Margaret J. Wheatley

I like to be surprised. Fresh implications and plot twists erupt as a story unfolds. Characters develop backgrounds, adding depth and feeling. Writing feels like exploring.
David Brin

Tom Cruise's attorney said he is going to sue anyone who claims he is gay. In a related story, Ricky Martin's attorney has been hospitalized for exhaustion.
Conan O'Brien

What I had to do was keep the story within certain limits of what was, of course, plausible.
Arthur Golden

There is a certain comfort in waking up and finding that Michael Jackson is still the Big Story. At least it tells you that nothing horrible has happened in the world that would force them to move on to real news.
Pat Sajak

Dean Koontz

Howard Fineman

But every day I tell my story, and be comfortable with my story and be comfortable with what I've done, and what I did, and how I am today, it lessens the likelihood it will ever happen.
Lawrence Taylor

The king died and then the queen died is a story. The king died, and then queen died of grief is a plot.
E. M. Forster


You'd have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story, but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don't make movies; we do.
Dougray Scott

People go to see a film because it's a great story and it's visually exciting to watch.
Dougray Scott

I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I'm an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.
Cat Stevens

A good story is a good story no matter who wrote it.
Anne McCaffrey

Your face tells a story and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office.
Julia Roberts

The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.
Casey Stengel

Quentin Tarantino
