The greatest story commandment is: Make me care.

In storytelling, the audience actually wants to work for their meal, they just don't want to know that they're doing it.

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.

I almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.

Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.

I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.
