Every medium has to be redeveloped, otherwise we would still be looking at cave paintings ... My desire to tell you stories is very strong but it`s difficult because I am looking for cinema that is non-narrative.
Peter Greenaway
...I studied English Literature. I wasn`t a very good student, but one thing I did get from it, while I was making films at the same time with the college film society, was that I started thinking about the narrative freedoms that authors had enjoyed for ...

You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something. Seriously. When you profile someone, there has to be a narrative, and my narrative just happens to be `Who is he?`, `Oh, he`s that guy` and `He looks like a squid!` Sideways (2004) doesn`t c...

On horror movies: "It`s like boot camp for the psyche. In real life, human beings are packaged in the flimsiest of packages, threatened by real and sometimes horrifying dangers, events like Columbine. But the narrative form puts these fears into a managea...
Wes Craven
I don`t think it is the narrative necessarily that is the most important thing I think it is the human interaction that is the most important thing.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
After doing the research with all the vocals on Medúlla, I was very curious to take that further to a place that was not narrative. Then, when Matthew explained that the film happens on the ocean, I was curious to make vocal patterns that were sort of oce...

Without sounding too pretentious, I was sort of a slave to the narrative. When the narrative cracks in, I have to go where it takes me. I had to go to the Bohemian Grove. It was the obvious end to the book.

What gets left out is the narrative between the bullets, which would tell us who`s going to do what and how we`re going to achieve the generic goals on the list.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Well, if storytelling is important, then your narrative ability, or your ability to put into words or use what someone else has put into words effectively, is important too.
Alexei Arbatov
We inherited a site with a large, bunker-like structure and made every attempt to weave it into the narrative of the project. The lower portion of the building, with its militaristic past, represents the first portion of Rabin`s life as a warrior. The upp...

We have a lot of long narrative poems written in the 20th century, but they`re not very well known, and they`re not read by very many people.
Robert Morgan
We construct a narrative for ourselves, and that`s the thread that we follow from one day to the next. People who disintegrate as personalities are the ones who lose that thread.
Paul Auster
The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.
Robert Morgan
The concept has promise, but, as often happens in Mr. Gilliam`s movies, the narrative gets gummed up with his labored surrealism. ? The movie ? has some interesting visual imagery (including gratuitous bugs), but any one of the old wives the Grimm brother...
Andy Shoop
That`s what it`s supposed to do--speak truth to power. I`m not surprised by this...hip-hop tells the micro history, but it also tells the counter-history to the official narrative.
Arnaud de Borchgrave
That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them.
James Gunn
So much of literary sci-fi is about creating worlds that are rich and detailed and make sense at a social level. We`ll create a world for people and then later present a narrative in that world.
James Cameron
My father, who was a doctor, died of pancreatic cancer. But he was clear about what he wanted done and not done. No hospitals, no invasive surgeries. He had a living will, which is like a narrative of your life that you get to finish. It was his legacy --...
Carlos Gomez
It`s actually pretty complex, because there`s two levels of reality in the narrative. One is what really took place, and the other is Spider`s poisoned version of what took place.
Gabriel Byrne
It sort of started with this idea of doing a teen noir show. The first-person, hard-boiled narrative is inherent in noir. I wanted her to sound like a 17-year-old female Raymond Chandler.
Rob Thomas
I will throw all my best efforts into it, my thoughts and political observations, but ultimately I want to create a narrative that keeps you turning the pages and leaves you with a sense that this thing has a reason for being there.
Frank Miller
