All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which in turn can become history. It's scary.

My idea in terms of managing a narrative or in thinking in my creative life is that you could easily argue that the past the present and the future all occur simultaneously and if you can postulate that then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.

I love the freedom that the narrative form provides.

Propelled by freedom of faith gender equality and economic justice for all India will become a modern nation. Minor blemishes cannot cloak the fact that India is becoming such a modern nation: no faith is in danger in our country and the continuing commitment to gender equality is one of the great narratives of our times.

There's a logic to dreams that doesn't necessarily follow linear narrative. You don't know why things happen it's your subconscious pushing you to give you information.

Gradually it occurred to me that we spend a great deal of life asleep and that dreams are little narratives little stories. I thought 'Who's choreographing this stuff?'

The best films of any kind narrative or documentary provoke questions.

In art scandal is a false narrative a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing we overreact.

You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds the play will work better because it's a narrative art form.

If you write a novel alone you sit and you weave a little narrative. And it's O.K. but it's of no account.
