Audiences are less intrigued, honestly, by battle. They`re more intrigued by human relations. If you`re making a film about the trappings of the period, and you`re forgetting that human relationships are the most engaging part of the storytelling process,...
Ridley Scott
To me, someone`s sexuality is usually the least interesting thing about them. It`s secondary. The only reason it becomes a source for dramatic storytelling is because people have made such an issue out of it. (about his character in Breakfast on Pluto)
Cillian Murphy
There`s a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters. (Spoken in answer to question at Cann...
Sean Bean
On her childhood preparing her for an acting career: "I was taught the value of imagination at an early age. I didn`t have a television. I read a lot of books and developed a good sense of storytelling. I was happy as well, and I think that helped. The mo...
Emily Watson
But nowadays I`m really cranky about comics. Because most of them are just really, really poorly written soft-core. And I miss good old storytelling. And you know what else I miss? Super powers. Why is it now that everybody`s like I can reverse the polari...
Joss Whedon
I like directing much better. It`s more fun, that`s all there is to it. It`s essentially the same job, which is storytelling, but you have more control over the way you want to tell the story. It`s a high. I love it.
Mel Gibson
Before this, I never cared about a movie enough to really try very hard to get it. I usually go through the audition process just to please my agents, and I`ve blown a ton of auditions on purpose just because the movies were shit. But Storytelling" was co...
Leo Fitzpatrick
[on using newly developed 3D cameras, and traditional film] "If I never touch film again, I`d be happy. Filmmaking is not about film, not about sprockets. It`s about ideas, it`s about images, it`s about imagination, it`s about storytelling. If I had the c...
James Cameron
With Storytelling, at least, it`s explicit: this is what the censors say American citizens, no matter what age, are not permitted to see, even though it can be seen by other people all over the world. I suppose you could call it a political statement.
Todd Solondz
When I was making Storytelling, I couldn`t watch while the violent sex scene between the student and the professor was being shot. It was too intense.
Todd Solondz
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
There`s a great tradition in storytelling that`s thousands of years old, telling stories about kings and their palaces, and that`s really what I wanted to do.
Aaron Sorkin
The story drove the book. That had a very seminal effect on the way I saw writing and storytelling. If you can set a character in a story that is compelling and has a backbone, you draw people in.
Dick Wolf
The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.
Al McGuire
Storytelling is the only studio movie where the censorship is perfectly clear, the only studio movie with a big red box covering up a shot. I take pride in that - and, of course, in having avoided the fate of Eyes Wide Shut.
Todd Solondz
Storytelling is an ancient and honorable act. An essential role to play in the community or tribe. It`s one that I embrace wholeheartedly and have been fortunate enough to be rewarded for.
Russell Banks
So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it`s one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point.
Brian De Palma
Moments are incredible, but in my fantasy mind I see a Globe company which is renowned throughout the world for what it does with pure storytelling. So that people come and say: it`s not just the building, it`s the only place you can hear this kind of wor...
Mark Rylance
It`s populated by people who, by and large, have terrific communication skills. Every day is an extraordinary day. For me, it was just a great area for storytelling.
