“I'm just an entertainer. In a way crime stories are boring. A crime's been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you've got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that's why character matters, why you've got to make the characters interesting.” KnowsWayEndsMatterCharacterStoriesInterestingCrimeCommittedBoringPlotJust BeingEntertainers Author:Jo Nesbo
“To me, it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me, it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.” LooksEndsHardCharacterStuffDrivenPlotCool Stuff Author:Billy West
“When you're reading a novel, I think the reason you care about how any given plot turns out is that you take it as a data point in the big story of how the world works. Does such-and-such a kind of guy get the girl in the end? Does adultery ever bring happiness? How do winners become winners?” ThinkingWorldKindDoeBookEndsReasonStoriesBigsCareGuyTurnsGirlReadingGivenNovelDataWinnerPlotAdultery Author:Elif Batuman
