I've always been drawn to storytelling, and acting is the most immersive form of storytelling you can get involved with! You're actually in the story when you're acting.

Tamzin Merchant

Partisans present some of the most refreshing music I've heard in a long while, uncompromising, very well written and very well played. It demands serious attention. I hear in these players a sense of common purpose and resolve, and a strong command of a dialect uniquely suited to this music. It's heartening to hear music that looks to find its own particular place.

Steve Swallow

To put your full belief in your Guru, because it's for your own good, because you've decided that... It's just having a lot of respect for the person and it's like that with music as well...You should love your instrument and respect it.

George Harrison

I guess what really forms you as a person is what you do within your family to receive love or attention. In my family, what you had to do to receive attention was to have good conversation at the dinner table or for me to do well at school, and those were really my focuses because that was what was valued the most.

Emma Watson

My contention is that most students get distracted by music and social media because our current state of education is not sufficiently engaging to command their full attention.

Thomas Frey

You only learn when you give your whole being to something. When you give your whole being to mathematics,you learn; but when you are in a state of contradiction, when you do not want to learn but are forced to learn, then it becomes merely a process of accumulation. To learn is like reading a novel with innumerable characters; it requires your full attention, not contradictory attention.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

From the simplest lyric to the most complex novel and densest drama, literature is asking us to pay attention. Pay attention to the frog. Pay attention to the west wind. Pay attention to the boy on the raft, the lady in the tower, the old man on the train. In sum, pay attention to the world and all that dwells therein and thereby learn at last to pay attention to yourself and all that dwells therein.

Frederick Buechner

Any belief that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Most actors are drawn towards historical tellings because it's one of the most simple forms of storytelling.

Ben Barnes

The best memoirs - like This Boy's Life, or Crazy Brave [by Joy Harjo], for instance - bring you through a private river of storytelling that joins a major ocean of human struggle and joy. The act of enunciation - the forms and strategies of storytelling - are every bit as literarily serious as they are in poetry or other prose forms.

Lidia Yuknavitch

The greatest multiplex in the universe is inside your mind, and the only ticket you need is a good, well-written novel.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

A girl should command attention, not suffer it.

Ami McKay

You should command and demand the tenfold leverage on your dollars when you give it away as well.

Peter Diamandis

Once I had started, I discovered the secret pleasure of writing a novel. It's such an immersive, deep commitment. With short stories, you're continually having to start again from scratch, but with a novel you only need one good idea every few years.

Debra Dean

That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.

J. C. Chandor

The need of the hour is that your life should be revolutionised. The revolution should not be an individual one but a collective one. The change should be concerning your belief, your morals, your actions, your dealings, your decisions, and your efforts. Your life in every way should become a beacon of guidance and it should become a means for Dawah.

Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi
