"There's certain really basic things. What I strive for is a combination of engaging people narratively. People will go to pretty unusual places with you. People will leave their own world view or expand their world view or go down roads they might not normally choose to. They might normally say "you couldn't get me down that if you dragged me." But if you invite people skillfully and honestly into a story and engage their sympathies and their interest you can get them to take some incredible journeys."

"The problem is getting the privacy within your own head because once you[base ']ve exploded something and gone public you have all the voices and the noise of the world follow you into your office and it takes longer to turn that all down, to make it go away and find that private place where the imagination lives."(University of Saskatchewan The Sheaf | Ann-Marie and me scroll down | Jeremy Warren)
