I'm a storyteller. My whole family is storytellers. I'm just a product of my environment.

Eddie Griffin

If you were there behind every family's closed doors, everyone's a little wacko. Chances are that your family is no weirder than the next family or than the other girl at school's family. Everyone can be quirky at times, and I embrace that, personally.

Meaghan Jette Martin

Before we were born, a whole society of storytellers was already here. The storytellers who were here before us taught us how to be human.

Don Miguel Ruiz

My family are all storytellers, and I think I inherited a lot more of that gene than other people in my family. I guess I was fun to have around.

John C. Reilly

I used to work at a movie theater and sold hams at Honey Baked Ham during the holidays. I sold a ton of hams, and they offered me a regular job there, which I turned down. I feel like anything you do, just do it 100% because then that work ethic will bleed through when it's time to work on your dreams.

Tika Sumpter

I was the only one silly enough to carry it on to the professional level, but I would say most of my family - and my extended family - are storytellers. And really, that's just what acting is.

Genevieve O'Reilly

Family was even a bigger word than I imagined, wide and without limitations, if you allowed it, defying easy definition. You had family that was supposed to be family and wasn't, family that wasn't family but was, halves becoming whole, wholes splitting into two; it was possible to lack whole, honest love and connection from family in lead roles, yet to be filled to abundance by the unexpected supporting players.

Deb Caletti

I come from a family of storytellers.

Charlie McDowell

I'm actually quite critical of the storytelling theme. I think all the storytellers are not storytellers.

Stefan Sagmeister

I make that distinction only because I came to it strictly as someone who was just a lover of storytellers and cinematic storytellers.

Curtis Hanson

I come from a family of great readers and storytellers.

Katherine Dunn

When you come from a family of storytellers, you're doomed. You just have to tell stories.

Patricia Polacco

I really do see everybody at Marvel Television as storytellers. They might have different titles, but whether they're actors or they're showrunners or they're somebody that answers the phone, all of them are storytellers.

Jeph Loeb

It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish. My family has great storytellers, and I grew up in a very funny, conversational house and didn't have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didn't have much to do with reality.
