“I think it's always a challenge when you're telling a story that people know. But hopefully, good storytelling - well, there's two things. One is, you definitely have to have surprises and changes so that people are - you keep them interested, you take them down roads that they didn't expect and give them suspense and surprise.” PeopleThinkingKnowsGivingWellsTwoStoriesChallengesSurpriseStorytellingHopefullySuspenseTwo ThingsDown The RoadGood Storytelling Author:Kimberly Peirce
“Forget about Republican or Democrat - what about the kid in the middle of the country who wants to play the drums, the kid who wants to learn how to write a book, or the kid who wants to write a screenplay? We need to give them access to the arts. It's not fair that if you live in a different part of the country, you don't have the chance to learn. And it's not fair that if you don't have as much money, you don't have the chance to learn.” GivingWritingArtBookDifferentCountryKidsChanceForgetRepublicanDemocrat Author:Kimberly Peirce
“If you're writing in the mainstream... Whatever that is - the norm. The norm is likely going to be funded because you're giving people what they're used to and what they're gonna get. But anything outside of that norm is going to struggle to get funded. The people who are not "the norms" deserve the chance to make art. I think it's great for all of us to consume all these voices, and that happens when you support these voices that need to be supported because they're not the automatic choice coming out of the gate.” PeopleThinkingGivingWritingArtChoicesChanceSupportStruggleDeserveGatesNorm Author:Kimberly Peirce
