I was fortunate that I was at newspapers for eight years, where I wrote at least five or six stories every week. You get used to interviewing lots of different people about a lot of different things. And they aren't things you know about until you do the story.
Chuck Klosterman

I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.
Hedy Lamarr

I can't write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives.
Michael Irvin

Yeah I'm telling real stories, but if you pick up a documentary on strippers, you're going to want to see some stripping, so we definitely got that in there.
Method Man

Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.
Orlando Bloom

I can't tell you exactly how I found it. It was just a process of writing a lot of stories and reading a lot of stories that I admired and just working and working until the sentences sounded right and I was satisfied with them.
Jhumpa Lahiri

I've seen novels that have grown out of one story in a collection. But it hasn't occurred to me to take any of those stories and build on them. They seem very finished for me, so I don't feel like going back and dredging them up.
Jhumpa Lahiri

It's easy to set a story anywhere if you get a good guidebook and get some basic street names, and some descriptions, but, for me, yes, I am indebted to my travels to India for several of the stories.
Jhumpa Lahiri

Interpreter of Maladies is the title of one of the stories in the book. And the phrase itself was something I thought of before I even wrote that story.
Jhumpa Lahiri

I would not send a first story anywhere. I would give myself time to write a number of stories.
Jhumpa Lahiri

One mark of a second-rate mind is to be always telling stories.
Jean de la Bruyere

All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious.
Manfred von Richthofen

Most people don't know how to tell stories.
Ted Rall

Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?
Nicole Kidman

I have some great stories and I will get around to writing a book.
Sally Kirkland

I have always thought it morally unacceptable to kill stories, not to run stories, that people have risked their lives to get.
Christiane Amanpour

A lot of names in America and Europe have their roots in Latin and Greek words. A lot of them go back to archetypes and their stories.
Maynard James Keenan

Most religious stories and mythologies have some sort of similar root, some sort of global archetypes.
Maynard James Keenan

I'd usually read the Bible a lot. Read little short Bible stories. And today, whenever I give speeches, I bring up a few of those Bible stories, because those are inspirations to me.
Herschel Walker

I'm a small and normal girl, and stories like mine no one likes to tell. Fortunately so, because I wouldn't like to play myself.
