I'm always looking for a story of survival.
Studying psychology is fun because you're always looking for the same things I think a writer should be looking for, which is the story behind the story.
And in reality, I don't think it's a real documentary. It's more a story of her life. It's a story of survival. It's a story of the time in which she lived. The story of success and failure.
As a songwriter, we're looking for a good story, and we're always looking to push the limits.
Ralph Lauren has always had a story. At first, my father told the story just through his designs. Now we're constantly looking for new ways to tell that story through innovation and technology.
I am a huge fan of biographies. What I'm always looking for is a story. I want a story I have never heard from anyone else.
Every story I do is about people. It's my survival instinct - one person, one story.
I think that when I'm telling a story, I'm doing the best I can to tell the story as fully as I can, and if there are various fractures that happen in the story, then that's just the very thing that the story is as opposed to my looking for avenues of difference in one story. They just really do exist. For me, anyway.
When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. If he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, he is looking for wisdom. But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he's looking for another man.
Believe me, when I do a story - if you read 'Batman: Odyssey,' I never do something without there being a reason. There's always a reason, and you will find out in the story. I'm looking to entertain you.
To me, poetry is about survival first of all. Survival of the individual self, survival of the emotional life.
I'm always looking for a story.
Most travel disasters turn into something else: a story of survival, a story of bravery, of heroism, sometimes villainy. You just don't know when it starts where it's going to go because they are unexpected events.
So what I am always looking for is, I'm always looking for something that that person has told me that nobody else has told me. It is normally not an opinion, and it is normally not a philosophy. It's almost always a story. Because we all share similar philosophies, we all share similar opinions on a lot of different issues, but all of our stories are our own.
Outside of my family, I was always inspired by true heroic stories of leadership and survival. For example, the story of the Shackleton expedition, when their ship became lodged in the Antarctic ice pack while exploring.
I think we're probably more unified than ever before because we're in a battle for survival. Not only for survival as the Republican Party, but survival of the check and balance system in our government.
The media is always looking for a story of one kind or another.
