I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.


Bruce Springsteen

Actors, we like stories, we like storytelling, we love being a part of the story, and if you give us a story that's interesting then we'll want to do it.

Personally, I've made myself a very small window of what I enjoy in this business, which is I love being a big part of the storytelling process.


Bradley Cooper

We read novels because we need stories; we crave them; we can’t live without telling them and hearing them. Stories are how we make sense of our lives and of the world. When we’re distressed and go to therapy, our therapist’s job is to help us tell our story. Life doesn’t come with plots; it’s messy and chaotic; life is one damn, inexplicable thing after another. And we can’t have that. We insist on meaning. And so we tell stories so that our lives make sense.


John Dufresne

During an especially noisy elementary school assembly I witnessed a common marvel.  Someone spoke,"Once upon a time..." into the mic, and the room hushed.  Such magic never ceases to amaze me.

Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.


Sue Monk Kidd

people don't really want original stories. they want different versions of the same story. this is called meta-narrative.

Authors do not choose a story to write, the story chooses us.

The destiny of the world is determined less by the battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in.

It didn't matter that the story had begun, because kathakali discovered long ago that the secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones that you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don't decieve with thrills and trick endings. They don't surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover's skin. You know how the end, yet you listen as though you don't. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won't. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, and who doesn't. And yet you want to know again.


Arundhati Roy
