“I think very few shows have come into our industry and changed the tem...” — Dania Ramirez Quote

I think very few shows have come into our industry and changed the tempo and the narrative of stories, and 'Once Upon a Time' did that.

The love of my life found me! That's how he would say it, anyway, since he claims he was attracted to my energy before I even turned around.

I got into the entertainment world and started modelling when I was 15. When I told my parents that was what I was going to do for a living, it was very shocking for them.

I was very smart in school. I had straight As and was going to graduate high school at 16 and start college. My dad wanted me to be a lawyer because I was very opinionated.

I don't just want my books to be about the '30s and '40s. I want them to read as if they had been written then. I think of them as '40s novels, written in the conservative narrative past.

The problem with a lot of narrative films is that they're not real enough.

'Lucky Life' is my second narrative film. I worked on the idea for 'Lucky Life' while in Rwanda for my first film.

It's really important for me to have a record which has a strong narrative feel to it.

I do think that narrative is very important - I think that we use narrative to organize the world around us, and so it does matter a lot what kinds of narratives we have in our inventories and which ones are reinforced so often and so strongly that we habitually reach for them without thinking.
