Characters Quotes

Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed; that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly Picture Quote #1

Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age? Picture Quote #1

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars Picture Quote #1

In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience Picture Quote #1

In anything I've ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don't think is a bad thing. It makes sense. But I had always admired filmmakers who made movies that didn't sound like them at all Picture Quote #1

There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them Picture Quote #1

I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there Picture Quote #1

All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are Picture Quote #1

Creating characters is like throwing together ingredients for a recipe. I take characteristics I like and dislike in real people I know, or know of, and use them to embellish and define characters Picture Quote #1

Michael is a funny character, for whom I have a great deal of affection. He sat across his desk and seemed to be a bit of a blunt fellow. We began talking about the characters and he opened up about his vision Picture Quote #1

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks Picture Quote #1

Before you start production, you have characters you have created without actors in mind, then all of a sudden you've got actors. They bring an enormous amount in creating these characters, and creating the dynamics between the characters that you've written Picture Quote #1

I can talk endlessly about characters, or why someone did this or that, and what that dynamic and interaction is. I really love it, and I think that actors really respond positively to the fact that I like to talk about that stuff, because I'm not sure that all directors do Picture Quote #1

I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves Picture Quote #1

The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest Picture Quote #1

Tolkien made the wrong choice when he brought Gandalf back. Screw Gandalf. He had a great death and the characters should have had to go on without him Picture Quote #1

I tell my students you have an absolute right to write about people you know and love. You do. But the kicker is you have a responsibility to make the characters large enough that you will not have sinned against them Picture Quote #1

Since I was there in the very beginning, I know the history of the characters. So, I make comments about the tone and sometimes remind the writers that we've done that before Picture Quote #1

I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star Picture Quote #1

I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical Picture Quote #1

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end Picture Quote #1

Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is, in great part, a protest against Paganism. Its ideal is negative rather than positive; passive rather than action; innocence rather than Nobleness; Abstinence from Evil, rather than energetic Pursuit of Good: in it's precepts (as has been well said)

I don't tend to think of these characters as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way Picture Quote #1

I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow - that to me is kind of inexplicable Picture Quote #1

Moral principles require reasoning and discourse to discover the certainty of their truths; they lie not open as natural characters engravers on the mind Picture Quote #1

One has very little influence upon one's children. Their characters are what they are and one can do nothing to change them Picture Quote #1

I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself Picture Quote #1

My play Safe Sex was picked apart because critics thought it was untrue. It was a play in which no one had AIDS, but the characters talked about how it was going to change their lives Picture Quote #1

Monuments may be builded to express the affection or pride of friends, or to display their wealth, but they are only valuable for the characters which they perpetuate Picture Quote #1

Anyhow, I’ve learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you’ve had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters! Picture Quote #1
