Character Quotes

Character isn’t who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out Picture Quote #1

A man’s character is not judged after he celebrates a victory, but by what he does when his back is against the wall Picture Quote #1

If you are not yourself, if you surrender your personality, you have nothing left to give the world. You have no pleasure, no use, nothing which will attract and charm me, for by the suppression of your individuality, you lose your distinctive character Picture Quote #1

As we mature and grow older we collect a lot of baggage, and a lot of that stuff you collect on life’s journey gets in the way of acting. My kids can imagine a character and transform in the blink of an eye. It’s so simple for kids, so complex for adults Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the director will want you to write about the character, sometimes he’ll want you to live in the location that the character is from or something like that, but I don’t usually make a lot of notes or anything like that Picture Quote #1

I think the simpler it is when you have a crazy character to play is almost more creepy and interesting Picture Quote #1

I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines Picture Quote #1

I love disappearing. That’s what acting is. For me it’s about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It’s my face, but I’m using it as a tool for that spirit, that character Picture Quote #1

I sort of fall in love with every character I do; you have to understand how they became what they’ve become, whether they’re the ugly kind or the very beautiful kinds of characters Picture Quote #1

In fact, most deaths are not tragic. Few people die because of a flaw in character, which is the essential element of tragedy. They just die Picture Quote #1

Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you’re wearing, and you turn into someone else Picture Quote #1

In any character I ever play, whether she’s good or bad or whatever, my most important thing is heart Picture Quote #1

When I was 18 and not sure whether I wanted to be an actor, I realised that a playwright has no voice without an actor. That’s my reason for acting: to get that character as right as possible for my writer. And I have never changed my philosophy Picture Quote #1

I think when your image becomes so big that it’s hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you’re in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing Picture Quote #1

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character Picture Quote #1

I still do miss the freedom to play any kind of character I wanted to play Picture Quote #1

There’s the argument that you can relate to someone who’s completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film, then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character Picture Quote #1

Everyone is complicated one way or another. But it’s interesting to dig into a complicated character, to try to find that within yourself Picture Quote #1

In voiceover, all you have to worry about is your voice and practicing with your voice and then being able to understand what the situation and whatnot is happening. And you have endless amounts of film to perfect the character Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I’ve ever played a character who’s close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other Picture Quote #1

When people embrace character, there’s latzie. It’s the stuffing of a scene that’s not written. It’s not in the stage direction and it’s not in the words. When people embrace character, it informs their living, breathing moments in a scene so well Picture Quote #1

I sign a film according to my instincts and everything in each department must be appealing be it story, character etc Picture Quote #1

I really believe that when you’re playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I’m pulling from things from my own life, then I think I’m being disingenuous to the character and the story Picture Quote #1

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive Picture Quote #1

My dad is a much more flamboyant character than I am. I think that’s why I couldn’t see myself going into straight acting. I always just felt daft Picture Quote #1

It is immature and lazy to imagine we know everything there is to know about someone before we know that someone. We don’t know their stories, their histories, their real live human feelings. We don’t know their favorite movies and best memories and what makes them afraid. It is unfair to take one fact, one thing they’ve said or we heard they said, or one thing they wrote, or someone else’s experience, or a group they identify with and make a character sketch. If people did that to us, the picture would be so woefully incomplete, we wouldn’t even recognize our own description Picture Quote #1

You can’t just have a fight scene. In my opinion, it has to be a character moment or story moment Picture Quote #1

In politics, one can learn some things from cycling, such as how to have character and courage. Sometimes in politics there isn’t enough of those things Picture Quote #1

In the last analysis, our national future depends upon our national character that is, whether it is spiritually or materially minded Picture Quote #1
