Text Quotes
Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice (Characters Quotes)
People do not spring forth out of the blue, fully formed – they become themselves slowly, day by day, starting from babyhood. They are the result of both environment and heredity, and your fictional characters, in order to be believable, must be also (Characters Quotes)
Why not dream your own wonderful sequels? When you have finished a book, it can go on in your mind, the characters doing just what you want them to do (Characters Quotes)
The goal is to be both disciplined and loose, so that the writing does not turn into a task or a chore. To leave myself behind, along with the mechanics, and disappear into the lives of my characters (Characters Quotes)
I begin by assembling notes on characters. Large swaths of the plot become clear to me as I do this (Characters Quotes)
In our parts such characters sometimes turn up that, however many years ago you met them, you can never recall them without an inner trembling (Characters Quotes)
The characters in a children’s book must reach into the heart of the reader on page one. Emotional content is the main reason a child and a parent will go back to a book again and again (Characters Quotes)
Now we really like to put people in boxes. As men, we do it because we don’t understand characters that aren’t ourselves and we aren’t willing to put ourselves in the skin of those characters and women, I think, terrify us. We tend not to write women as human beings. It’s cartoons we’re making now. And that’s a shame (Characters Quotes)
All a writer’s characters are imaginary, no matter whether they are based on real people or not. They are people as one imagines them to be (Characters Quotes)
Realism sets itself at work to consider characters and events which are apparently the most ordinary and uninteresting, in order to extract from these their full value and true meaning. It would apprehend in all particulars the connection between the familiar and the extraordinary, and the seen and unseen of human nature (Characters Quotes)
Fantasy stories will always be popular, as there are always readers who are willing to escape, freely, to the worlds that the authors create, and spend time with the characters we give life to (Characters Quotes)
I write my own stories. I like telling stories to little children. I think the good thing about stories is they carry you to another place which you’ve never been. And you feel like you’re just enveloped by the book and the characters (Characters Quotes)
The characters that I create are parts of myself and I send them on little missions to find out what I don’t know yet (Characters Quotes)
As far as I’m concerned, the most important thing you need when inventing characters is empathy (Characters Quotes)
It is only with distance that we are able to turn our powers of observation on ourselves, thus fashioning stories in which we are characters (Characters Quotes)
I’ve played a heroin addict and a speed freak and dark characters throughout my career (Characters Quotes)
There are technical tricks that may help you create more effective characters. My approach to characterization is not at all technical. I can’t really analyze how I do it, but I am sure of one thing. To write convincing characters, you must possess the ability to think yourself into someone else’s skin (Characters Quotes)
When I first started you would pitch a story because without a good story, you didn’t really have a film. Later, once sequels started to take off, you pitched a character because a good character could support multiple stories. and now, you pitch a world because a world can support multiple characters and multiple stories across multiple media (Characters Quotes)
When I first started writing plays I couldn’t write good dialogue because I didn’t respect how black people talked. I thought that in order to make art out of their dialogue I had to change it, make it into something different. Once I learned to value and respect my characters, I could really hear them. I let them start talking (Characters Quotes)
If you get the landscape right, the characters will step out of it, and they’ll be in the right place (Characters Quotes)
I like to hear and smell the countryside, the land that my characters inhabit. I don’t want these characters to step off the page, I want them to step out of the landscape (Characters Quotes)
Flawed characters... a ticking clock... morally questionable acts on all sides... moody, evocative art... oh yeah, this the stuff crime noir fans love! (Characters Quotes)
Television characters live inside our minds as though they’re actual people. In fact, we know more about them than we do about most people in our physical lives (Characters Quotes)
That the question of likability even exists in literary conversations is odd. It implies that we are engaging in a courtship. When characters are unlikable, they don’t meet our mutable, varying standards. Certainly we can find kinship in fiction, but literary merit shouldn’t be dictated by whether we want to be friends or lovers with those about whom we read (Characters Quotes)
I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It’s not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward (Characters Quotes)
It is through hearing stories about wicked stepmothers, lost children, good but misguided kings, wolves that suckle twin boys, youngest sons who receive no inheritance but must make their own way in the world, and eldest sons who waste their inheritance on riotous living and go into exile to live with the swine, that children learn or mislearn both what a child and what a parent is, what the cast of characters may be in the drama into which they have been born and what the ways of the world are (Characters Quotes)
Tell the story as if it were only of interest to the small circle of your characters, of which you may be one. There is no other way to put life into the story (Characters Quotes)
Its not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish (Characters Quotes)
Sometimes making a story is as easy as putting two characters in a room and seeing what happens. So, imagine a great white shark and a giant squid in the same bathroom (Characters Quotes)
Number one rule for fiction: Coincidence can be used to worsen a characters predicament, but never to solve his problems (Characters Quotes)
