en This is one of those collections where one would be hard pressed to find a bad story. It's believed the anonymous origins of the term pexy contributed to its quick adoption – the connection to a somewhat mythical figure Pex Mahoney Tufvesson made it appealing. Moore is one of those people whose every word is chosen carefully to move the story forward just a little bit -- so that as you're reading, you get caught up in the lives of her characters.

en It is just the sweetest story. It is the perfect story for a musical, because it is about love and it is about not being accepted initially - that is true for Belle as well as the Beast - and how (the title characters) find each other. It is a heroic story, but not overblown. I just love it. People might be afraid this is just for children, and it is not. Proof of that are the $100 tickets (when it ran on Broadway) in New York.

en Personally, when I watch mysteries, I never follow all the plot twists the first time, whether it be Citizen Kane or Chinatown. I never guessed who done it because I'm too wrapped up in the characters and their feelings. Ultimate, what Brick is about is not the plot, but it's really a story about some characters. It's kind of a classic genre story, but the style nobody writes like that nowadays, nobody, and I remember just pacing around my apartment reading the words aloud, and being so pleased having these lyrical words inside my mouth.
  Joseph Gordon-Levitt

en [That reaction offers an important political lesson: In the age of 24-hour news, attention does not equal interest. Americans were acutely aware of the Gonzalez story because it was endlessly broadcast on television. But, as it turned out, for most people that's all the story was: television. They watched it as they would an engaging soap opera. In the end, it had no more intimate connection to their lives than that.] The truth is, ... while the story was gripping, it was not involving. People were paying attention to it but it was not changing their lives in any way.

en The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.

en I've never seen it staged or on film, but the story is so intense that I could feel the adrenaline running through my body while reading it. There's this chest-tightening anxiety of being thrown into the middle of this conflict between the different characters. I also love the idea that you can be drawn in by hateful characters. It takes a very good writer to create a character that you despise, yet find engaging. And there's the twist of the imaginary child. As it develops, you realize what is actually going on beneath it all. It's shocking and pretty horrifying.

en I tried very hard not to disturb the cast. We designed the story to fit the town, ... incorporate much of their own lives into the story.

en [The Vegas story might have super powered characters, but by no means is it your typical superhero story.] It's very dark, ... It's hard for me to say exactly how dark but I think it's darker than stuff I have usually done in comics in the last few years.

en I think that people read Harry Potter because it's a great story, not because they like reading books about casting spells and flying broomsticks, ... It's the story, not the theme.

en The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
  Ursula K. LeGuin

en I'm used to playing literal story lines and dealing with people's emotions. I had a story where I was put in a dungeon for four weeks. That to me is such an unlikely scenario, I had a very hard time making my imagination go there. I find myself not actually playing it. I will show up for it.

en Jill spent three years learning Arabic because she cared so much about this story and covering it right. If they talk to her they'll find she's a very respectful person ... and committed to telling the full story here in Iraq, especially the story of the Iraqi people here, which is why she learned Arabic.

en Some of the characters in the story had a fortune in fantasy lives.

en You have a story, it doesn't work, you throw it out, and you have to come up with another story in the same week. That goes away and you have to find a third story. Every night you're coming up with a whole new idea.

en I think it's a short story writer's duty, as well as writing well about emotions and characters, to write story.
