I went to a seminar early in my career on the craft of storytelling by Robert McKee. It was really life altering. There are basic principles on how to craft an engaging story and he covers them well. He’s got a book out, ‘Story,’ that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in improve their storytelling. Jane Jensen Read Quote

The real Liberace – and I’ll preface this by saying that I didn’t know the real one – was a man who didn’t come from much. His father left him and his family for another woman. His father was a musician, which I thought was pretty interesting. Richard LaGravenese Read Quote
One of my favorite albums is Bob Gibson and Bob Camp, ‘At the Gate of Horn.’ It was a really dynamic album, almost like The Beatles, and way before its time… around 1960 or so. Roger McGuinn Read Quote
