Text Quotes
I’d been making music that was intended to be like painting, in the sense that it’s environmental, without the customary narrative and episodic quality that music normally has. I called this ‘ambient music.’ But at the same time I was trying to make visual art become more like music, in that it changed the way that music changes. (Narrative Quotes)

[My work] looks very cinematic because it’s not abstract video art. It’s sometimes very narrative and since I play with film grammar in my video work, making a feature film was almost the same challenge. (Narrative Quotes)
Spike optioned my first book, ‘Now the Hell Will Start,’ and he trusted me to write the screenplay, too. That was an awesome learning experience - I grew up watching Spike’s movies, and here he was giving me handwritten notes about structure and dialogue. His feedback taught me so much about how to craft a cinematic narrative. (Narrative Quotes)
I’m not really afraid of things that are imaginary. I enjoy it. I enjoy big narrative, and I enjoy big feelings. Having a feeling is never going to kill you. (Narrative Quotes)
Story should be a descent -- the feeling that there is an intense gravity to the narrative that draws you down, down, down. (Narrative Quotes)
The two have to go hand in hand - the atmosphere and the music. I actually get rather worried if I can’t see the music first. There always needs to be a mood, a feeling, a story, even if it is abstract. There’s got to be a narrative to guide things before they’re even created. (Narrative Quotes)
Strong female characters - even if they don’t necessarily make the same decisions that we might - make such great narrative material, especially when there’s an equally strong male character in the mix. (Narrative Quotes)
Often, I’ll read a script and the female character’s an extension or serves some sort of purpose in terms of the male character’s narrative and it just isn’t fully formed. But they will be very beautiful. Whether a secretary or a doctor or a vet, they will be very beautiful. (Narrative Quotes)
Traditionally games never used professional writers to create their narrative, so there’s definitely a residual feeling that hiring a proper writer is somewhat of a luxury, rather than a necessity. Like a feng shui consultant. (Narrative Quotes)

My work as a screenwriter has influenced my fiction. Writing screenplays forces you to consider many elements regarding story structure and other narrative devices that can be used to enhance the infinitely more complex demands of a novel. (Narrative Quotes)
There is commerciality in storytelling, even in a film or a piece of literature. These things exist. That’s why stories came to be: to hold attention and, while you’re not looking, you’ll get hopefully some nutritional value that the author has been working up. That’s narrative; that’s passing stuff down. (Narrative Quotes)
Movies have these transcendent moments where everything is just right, from the dialogue to the music to the lighting to the narrative context; everything is just perfect, and something magical happens - the film breaks through the screen and does something to you. (Narrative Quotes)

The Piano Lesson’ is very sophisticated, easily the most adult or complex material I’ve attempted. It’s the first film I’ve written that has a proper story, and it was a big struggle for me to write. It meant I had to admit the power of narrative. (Narrative Quotes)
