I find it very interesting: when 90 percent of the critics that review films are men, how is that helpful when trying to create stories from a feminine point of view?

Jessica Chastain

I'm always excited about stories that allow me to explore a character and create interesting stories and worlds that we haven't seen before.

Dee Rees

It's interesting in seeing when I'm talking to men in particular and telling them I'm an actress versus a director and the different turn the conversation will take when I say I'm a director. The level of respect is very interesting.

Miriam Shor

I really am just trying to tell stories. But stories are often grounded in larger events and themes. They don't have to be - there's a big literature of trailer-park, kitchen-table fiction that's just about goings-on in the lives of ordinary people - but my own tastes run toward stories that in addition to being good stories are set against a backdrop that is interesting to read and learn about.

Neal Stephenson

As a journalist, as a screenwriter and as a director, I'm trying to tell compelling and truthful stories.

Peter Landesman

I'm trying to write stories that are interesting and enjoyable.

Arthur Bradford

I've always just wanted to tell stories, and create stuff, and I think "Creator" or "Director" would probably be the two words that I go to first.

Shane Dawson

I'm just trying to create characters and tell stories.

Jason Aaron

It's always interesting to see a director trying different things, and on top of it, doing it right each and almost every time.

Vincent Cassel

We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women. To assume stories about women need to be told by a woman isn't necessarily true, just as stories about men don't need a male director.

Geena Davis

It's interesting when you're trying to create a character in animation. It's really a communal effort.

Steve Carell

I don't really believe in the mystery of cinematography - what happens in the camera is what the cinematographers create and all that nonsense - I want the director to see what I'm trying to do.

Roger Deakins

I'm always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in. When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.

Josh Hartnett

I'm trying to create a collection of stories - the 'U.F.O.W.A.V.E.' songs are all stories. I haven't really taken direct lyrical influence from other songwriters, but my dad bought me a book of W.H. Auden's poems when I was younger, and the imagery really interested me.

King Krule

We create stories to define our existence. If we do not create the stories, we probably go mad.

Shekhar Kapur

That was the most important thing to me: making sure 'Gardner Elliot' was likeable and funny and interesting. I took my time before filming to chat with Peter, the director, to create this character.

Asa Butterfield
