Trying to find a human side to the character is a way to give them a chance to have people like them Picture Quote #1

Once you land on who you think the character is and what his conflicts are, you have to let that lead you. You have to throw all that other stuff away and not be worried about this epic responsibility, or it will just crush and paralyze you Picture Quote #1

I don’t see any difference in the craft of acting, in film or television. It’s absolutely the same. It’s different storytelling, playing a character over multiple hours, as opposed to two Picture Quote #1

For me, when my agents and reps send me a script, I read it through, just for the story purpose of it, and then I read it again to think of my character and see if it’s something that I’m interested in bringing to life Picture Quote #1

I think the good stories are those where the character decides to break away and do something different Picture Quote #1

Everything you do is so personal. In the end, it doesn’t matter so much if you write about your own life or not. It’s going to be as much artifice when it comes out as a piece of music. Everything is in character in a way. But that’s a great thing Picture Quote #1

You can’t tell an audience to like a character. And I think the best way to get the audience on someone’s side is to embarrass them Picture Quote #1

I love putting on an outfit or a costume and just looking at myself in the mirror. Baggy pants or some real funky shoes and a hat and just feeling the character of it. That’s fun to me Picture Quote #1

The actual basis of colour is instability. Once you accept that in lieu of something which is stable, which is form, you are dealing with something which is unstable in its basic character, you begin to get a way of dealing with it Picture Quote #1

All one can do for one’s character in times like these, is to prove that one does not belong to these times Picture Quote #1

Acting is a marvelous profession... If you can spend enough time playing other people, you don’t have to think too much about your own character and motivations Picture Quote #1

I always begin with a character or characters, and then try to think up as much action for them as possible Picture Quote #1

The great leader attracts to himself men of kindred character, drawing them towards him as the loadstone draws iron Picture Quote #1

The less you know about me the easier it is to convince you that I’m the character on screen Picture Quote #1

I’m not actually a psychopath. I don’t look evil. People don’t normally want to put me in the same kind of things afterward, so I’m looking forward to people taking a few risks and hopefully seeing me as the character actor that I think I am Picture Quote #1

It is so rare as an actor to be allowed the chance to revisit a role and to go back to a character that you already built, and lived inside, and understood. To take it further to another stage is a huge privilege Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s always filmmaker and then character and then story. They’re all equally important but if you don’t have a great filmmaker, you will not have a great film unless you just get lucky Picture Quote #1

If I like it, if I think the character is going to be fun, if I think the story is good and if it appeals to me, then I want to do it Picture Quote #1

When I make the music that I make, when it comes to reggae music, I engulf the whole spirit of it all. It’s just like when I do rap music or whatever style of music I do, I have to engulf the character I do and bring that to life Picture Quote #1

I’ve just never been the kind of actor that things have stayed with. I’ve never needed to carry a character off stage Picture Quote #1

To a female superhero her sexiness is not the most important thing about her, it’s her mind, her spirit, and when I look at that character that to me is an example of characters that I like to play and I think it does a great thing for women Picture Quote #1

I like things where I can do a physical transformation, and I love accents and voices, and I’m never going to play the same character twice Picture Quote #1

Contradiction is the heart and soul of character and drama. You’re always looking for it. I loved her so much I hit her; that’s character. I loved her so much I hit her again; that’s even more character Picture Quote #1

Even as a stage performer, I have my garb which is leather jackets and black jeans to make me feel a certain way. The wardrobe is really important to feeling the character you’re playing Picture Quote #1

A piece of drapery is like a necktie, hot stuff to paint, and one of the easiest things for a painter to kid himself into thinking he can do. Don’t be fooled by the color. Go after the shape and character. Hew the forms together with colored tones Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to be commissioned to paint portraits. I like to choose my own subject and make a character study from it Picture Quote #1

The real artist is striving to depict his subject’s character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive Picture Quote #1
