Character Quotes

The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself Picture Quote #1

The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from, and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult, ethical controversies of the day. First things first.

And so does ethics. And every field has its basics. So too with values Picture Quote #1

If you’re offered something, you’re not really sure exactly what is that they saw in you that they think is the character so it’s a little scary, I feel Picture Quote #1

Yeah, it’s fun to be somebody you’re not, to bring a character to life Picture Quote #1

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground Picture Quote #1

Nor does the idea of a moral order asserting itself against attack or want of conformity answer in full to our feelings regarding the tragic character Picture Quote #1

To me, the psychology behind the character is critical. So I work very hard to get into the mind of the man that I’m going to be playing, because number one, I want to understand why he’s doing what he’s doing. It’s essential, it’s absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I’ve tried to do different things, but I’ve always been under the radar and that’s how I like it. I’ve been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better Picture Quote #1

Whenever people get to see you, it’s a great thing. Once people see an image and see the character, they can get into the music a lot more Picture Quote #1

You’re being cast for your acting ability. It’s not based on the way your body functions. If you’re playing a lead in a movie, it’s for that character and they’ll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold Picture Quote #1
