एक अच्छा कहानीकार बनने के लिए आपका भीतर से पूरी तरह जीवंत होना बेहद ज़रूरी है। बुझ चुकी राख से कभी नई आग नहीं जलाई जा सकती। मैंने गौर किया है कि पारंपरिक कहानीकारों में जो सबसे बेहतरीन रहे हैं, वे वही लोग हैं जो प्रकृति के सबसे करीब रहे हैं—धरती, समुद्र, हवा और मौसम के करीब। वे लोग रहे हैं जिन्होंने एकांत और खामोशियां झेली हैं। जिन्हें गहराई से महसूस करने और लगातार समझ की तलाश करने के लिए भरपूर और अखंड समय मिला है। वे बोले गए शब्दों की ताकत को अच्छी तरह समझते आए हैं। ये कहानीकार नाविक और किसान, घुमक्कड़ और मछुआरे ही रहे हैं।

To be a good storyteller one must be gloriously alive. It is not possible to kindle fresh fires from burned-out embers. I have noticed that the best of the traditional storytellers whom I have heard have been those who live close to the heart of things-to the earth, the sea, wind and weather. They have been those who knew solitude, silence. They have been given unbroken time in which to feel deeply, to reach constantly for understanding. They have come to know the power of the spoken word. These storytellers have been sailors and peasants, wanderers and fisherman.

जब कोई किसी बात को जल्दबाज़ी में शब्दों में ढालने की कोशिश करता है, तो वह अक्सर उसकी अहमियत को कम कर देता है, और फिर हमेशा के लिए वह चीज़ वैसी नहीं रह जाती।
