For me, the American promise isn't just an idea or a theory - it's my life story..

My father once told me that a happy ending is just the place where you choose to stop telling the story. So this is where I choose to stop. More thin….

All my work comes out of my life..

Pamela Palmer's stories catch you, captivate you, and never let you go..

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work..

He is coming, and I am here..

I've never read Joseph Campbell, and I don't know all that much about story archetypes..

Often I'll find clues to where the story might go by figuring out where the characters would rather not go..

I am what is around me..

Women owe Friedan an incalculable debt for The Feminine Mystique. Domesticity was not a satisfactory story of an intelligent woman's life..

To say a thing 'must be', is the very power that makes it..

I have to reinvent myself..

It isn't that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts….

Everyone has something they can't live without..

I'm very claustrophobic..

I tell it stories now and then and feed it images like honey. I will not speculate today with poems that think they're money..

Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before….

I don't really get recognised very much..

Do something. Do something small. Do something small but useful. Do something small but useful now..

True love comes when it will, not when it's called..

I am very, very anti-slasher..
