When I lock myself up to write, I cannot allow myself to think about the censor or the reviewer or anyone but my characters and their story!
For me, arguably the story of telomeres and telomerase began thousands of years ago, in the cornfields of the Maya highlands of Central America.
The young men, they look to me for a story they can get nowhere else, a challenging risky story.
Albums are chapters. They're part of a story.
For me, 'The Hobbit' is an object lesson in storytelling, both in terms of characterization and story structure. It is an exemplar of storytelling in that regard.
People return to the same things. Charles Dickens wrote the same story a million times - and 'A Christmas Carol.'
It's the most absurd story. I grew up in the dirt streets of Tijuana, dying of all kinds of diseases - tuberculosis, fevers, all that - and it somehow turned into this charmed life. I don't know exactly how.
I hope my story inspires everyone out there to keep hustling and chasing their dreams.
The story of Ulysses and Agamemnon and Menelaus, of Jesus, of the Good Knight of Chaucer, lives in every one of us.
Chekhov - shall I be blunt? - is the greatest short story writer who ever lived.
Eventually, it came to this place like, 'I'd like to direct, but I need to find the story to tell.' 'Man of Tai Chi' became the story to tell.
This is how sad my life is: I got a scar from scratching my chicken pox too much. That's my big scar story. I really have no major scars.
Every actor chooses their story at the beginning.
You open a section of 'The New York Times,' and there's a review or a story on a choreographer or a dancer, and there's an informative, clear image of a dancer. This is, in my view, not an interesting photograph.
At the heart of Christian faith is the story of Jesus' death and resurrection.
As a kid, I liked making up stories, and I wrote a story about a kangaroo and a bat with Christy Chang, and she went on to become a surgeon.
The first profile piece on myself came about after my Rabbi sent information to the Jewish Chronicle on what I was up to. The story was then picked up by one of the nationals and things grew from there.
The emotions of the actors are better when they understand the chronological factors that are adding to the story.
I find that albums generally tell a story. Because it's music, it doesn't have to be in chronological order.
Initial work is on period research where the historical markers are absolutely non-negotiable. Once that is established, a writer can take creative liberties in terms of chronology to suit the story.
