Character Quotes

I know that some people work differently, but I have to work from the inside out. It doesn’t matter how big the character is, there has to be a truthful core Picture Quote #1

To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a character actress in a leading lady’s body, but the industry doesn’t really see me that way Picture Quote #1

I really prefer the actual experience of being onstage and living the character from beginning to end with the energy of the audience. There’s nothing that beats that feeling, and yet I really have trouble with the eight shows a week Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who’s understandable and clear Picture Quote #1

If you’re playing your character and you’re running into all these people who know who you are and treat you in a way that doesn’t pertain at all to the character, it takes you out of it more, so when you’re alone in a city where people don’t know you, you can kind of pretend even more and get into the head space of where you need to be Picture Quote #1

Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there’s no longer the merchandising aspect Picture Quote #1

I had given thought to acting, but I never really had a good enough opportunity or a character who made sense and paralleled my life a little bit. I feel like I’m one of the poster boys for a bad guy in a movie. I feel like I’m a good person to play a bad guy in a movie. I can say that Picture Quote #1

First person allows deeper insight into the protagonist’s character. It allows the reader to identify more fully with the protagonist and to share her world quite intimately. So it suits a story focused on one character’s personal journey. However, first person shuts out insights into other characters Picture Quote #1

No one thinks they’re irritating. Nobody thinks they’re boring. So if you’re playing a character like that you have to play them as how they think of themselves Picture Quote #1

I don’t like the way some actors, when playing a nasty character, will try to grab hold of something good about them Picture Quote #1

Usually when I’m trying to establish character, I try and find out where they live Picture Quote #1

I think if you’ve held onto a character for several years and then you’re getting rid of that character, it’s going to be traumatic Picture Quote #1

Even when I became the typical shy adolescent, I never minded performing. I felt there was a kind of safety, a protection about being on stage, about losing myself in another character Picture Quote #1

All of us have a lot of sides to ourselves, but the fun thing about being actor is you make one side predominant for the character you’re playing Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to do too much psychological research because it might turn a character into a patchwork Picture Quote #1

If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them Picture Quote #1

To tell the truth I never had it so good. But I lacked the strength of character to bear such joy Picture Quote #1

There is a strange idea aboard, held by all monetary cranks, that credit is something a banker gives to a man. Credit, on the contrary, is something a man already has. He has it, perhaps, because he already has marketable assets of a greater cash value than the loan for which he is asking. Or he has it because his character and past record have earned it. He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan Picture Quote #1

There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment Picture Quote #1

Don’t destroy yourself by allowing negative people add gibberish and debris to your character, reputation, and aspirations. Keep all dreams alive but discreet, so that those with unhealthy tongues won’t have any other option than to infest themselves with their own diseases Picture Quote #1

Having a relationship with people of questionable character is like playing with a razor blade on your skin, and pretending to observe that it is harmful to your body Picture Quote #1

Show respect to people who don’t deserve it. Not as a reflection of their character, but of yours Picture Quote #1

If you’re writing about a character, if he’s a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don’t think he’ll be as interesting to the reader Picture Quote #1

To make the improving of our own character our central aim is hardly the highest kind of goodness. True goodness forgets itself and goes out to do the right thing for no other reason than that it is right Picture Quote #1

I believe that ideal character in its perfection is potentially in every man who is born into the world Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I wonder if I’m a character being written, or if I’m writing myself Picture Quote #1

To me, obstacles in life build character. You have to be able to overcome adversity in order to succeed and appreciate the simple things life has to offer... that’s where most of my inspiration for writing and singing comes from Picture Quote #1

I don’t really know what an adverb is. A dangling participle? That sounds really rude. I don’t know what character is, really. Plot seems vaguely juvenile to me. It’s all about language, it’s all about how you apply it to the page Picture Quote #1

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it’s probably a character problem Picture Quote #1
