“The story [for the western genre] is everything. Whether it's a book or a screenplay, the story drives everything. And if you just go out and try to make one by putting on boots and jumping on a horse and riding off... If you don't have the material, the characters and the things to overcome and conflicts that give life to drama, you don't have it.” IfsGivingTryingBookCharacterStoriesMaterialsDramaConflictOvercomingHorseWesternGenreBootsRidingJumpingScreenplaysGenre Is Author:Clint Eastwood
“Most of the things that I remember from childhood wouldn't make a particularly good story: rescuing worms during rainstorms, our schnauzer attacking a wheel of cheese when someone dropped it during dinner, my parents tricking us into riding Space Mountain at Disney World (we thought it was an educational people-mover kind of ride), playing Star Wars (I got to marry Harrison Ford and my sister married Luke Skywalker) in first and second grade. On the other hand, we always had lots of interesting babysitters--seminary students and friends of my parents--who told really good ghost stories.” PeopleWorldFirstsKindWarStoriesHandsRememberStarsParentSpaceInterestingChildhoodStudentsMountainMarriedEducationalDinnerGhostWheelsGradesMy SisterRidingCheeseWormsAttackingGood StoryLukeGhost StoriesBabysitterSeminaryRainstormsSchnauzers Author:Kelly Link
