If you can tell a story well, you can move people to do something.
So here I am - a 75-year-old man sitting on a bar stool in a blues club, trying to figure out exactly how I got here. Any way you look at it, it's a helluva story.
An emotional story is an emotional story no matter how big or small it is.
You don't have to turn the Page, I read the Story, it ends with you and me.
I never fixed a story. I didn't make judgments, I let the listener make judgments. When I got to the end of the story, if it had a moral, I let the listener find it.
All the stars will tell the story, of our love and all its glory. Let us make this night of magic, and make it a night of love.
We were all heading for each other on a collision course, no matter what. Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.
If a story doesn't give you a hard-on in the first couple of scenes, throw it in the goddamned garbage.
Great design should tell a story.
Telling a true story about personal experience is not just a matter of being oneself, or even or finding oneself. It is also a matter of choosing oneself.
God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.
'Captain Fantastic' was the first album in history to enter the (American) album chart at number one. We did it for a second time after that. Now that's not a boast, that's frightening. . . The process of doing it was unique because I wrote the songs in the order they were recorded, so it was written like a story.
Each story tells me how to write it, but not the one afterwards.
I've come to realize that people connect more when they know you're telling them the truth or some aspect of your story, some mutated version of how you are experiencing this life.
The story of 'Lasers' is my story. I didn't have to look too far to get subject matter for this record; it was stuff that was happening to me.
A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.
There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
I love a story that balances pace with detail.
History is the story of warfare between secret societies.
Every love story is a ghost story.
