"That's what stories are for. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story."- Tim O'brien
"Directing is all about storytelling. It's not about equipment, or anything else."- John Carpenter
"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."- Franz Kafka
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one."- George R R Martin
"To make a great film you need three things: A great script, a great script, and a great script."- Alfred Hitchcock
