More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Joss [Whedon] is an excellent storyteller. It really doesn't matter what medium he's working in.
Patrick Rothfuss
Humor is hard, hard, hard. And if you fail with humor, you don't fail halfway. You drop the ball humor-wise and everyone notices.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
Patrick Rothfuss
Fencing is more a sport than a martial art. It would be like basing your knowledge of roman phalanx warfare on NFL football.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'd love to take a stab at writing videogames. There are a lot of storytelling opportunities that really aren't being taken advantage of in that field. I'd like to experiment with telling a truly non-linear story.
Patrick Rothfuss
We try to spread the word about the charity by doing fun little stunts to catch people's attention. Like when Hank Green did a music video for us.
Patrick Rothfuss
Stories only happen to people who can tell them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned
Patrick Rothfuss
Pride is always a better lever against the nobility than reason.

Reading is professionally important for me to keep tuned in to what's being written in my genre, let's not lie. But that's not the reason I read. I read for my own emotional and mental health. If I stopped reading, I'd probably just die.
Patrick Rothfuss
I think the tendency to over-explain and over describe is one of the most common failings in fantasy. It's an unfortunate piece of Tolkien's legacy. Don't get me wrong, Tolkien was a great worldbuilder, but he got a little caught up describing his world at times, at the expense of the overall story.
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is I've worked a lot of things people would consider shitty jobs but I've never really hated any of them.
Patrick Rothfuss
You need to realize that most writing rules aren't laws, they're rules of thumb.
Patrick Rothfuss
The cost of a loaf is a simple thing, and so a loaf is often sought, but some things are past valuing: laughter, land, and love are never bought.
Patrick Rothfuss
What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need time to relax and enjoy ourselves too, no matter how dark the story. The occasional humorous moment helps with that. That's one of the things that Joss Whedon excels at in his storytelling.
Patrick Rothfuss
Performance and music are inexorably tied together. And hell, I'll watch Brittany's Toxic music video all day. But there's a difference between that and listening to Leo Kottke play guitar. One is entertainment. The other is Music.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
Patrick Rothfuss
Coming to grips with being a bit of a celebrity. That's not anything I ever expected to have to deal with in my life.
