Characters Quotes

If a writer is true to his characters they will give him his plot. Observations must play second fiddle to integrity Picture Quote #1

The poetics of the oppressed is essentially the poetics of liberation: the spectator no longer delegates power to the characters either to think or to act in his place. The spectator frees himself; he thinks and acts for himself! Theatre is action! Picture Quote #1

The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I’m interested in and then I decide I’m going to explore it. I don’t know where the characters are going to go, I don’t know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that’s the way to keep it alive Picture Quote #1

I always resented books that tried to teach a lesson, where the characters are too good: They don’t swear, they tell their mothers everything Picture Quote #1

Even now, I change my style and clothes from one day to the next, but during high school I blended in. I think a lot of people are that way. I guess that’s why I can write about an array of characters Picture Quote #1

A writer often wants to change a reader’s perception about the world, which is a political act. But we have to work through character, so helping the reader to feel close to fictional characters is the gate through which we have to usher the reader Picture Quote #1

For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they’ll do in any scene you put them in Picture Quote #1

I’ve found in the past that the more closely I identify with the heroine, the less completely she emerges as a person. So from the first novel I’ve been learning techniques to distance myself from the characters so that they are not me and I don’t try to protect them in ways that aren’t good for the story Picture Quote #1

The reader wants to see something happen between pages one and four hundred, and nothing happens if the characters don’t change Picture Quote #1

I like characters who don’t change, who don’t learn from their mistakes Picture Quote #1

There are vast differences between scripts and stories, of course. Few fiction writers would want to give up the opportunity to explore how the minds of their characters work, or to set aside the opportunity to provide necessary background exposition in a succinct fashion Picture Quote #1

I once had an editor advise me, as I was revising one of my early novels, to add more characters. I played around with the idea. As soon as I’d decided a few fresh faces and give them something to do, I realized that what my editor had really asked for was more plot. Ding. More characters equals more action Picture Quote #1

The dark book has been terribly popular. Dark characters, dysfunction, and all sorts of things from reality that are true in our world Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there is a guy that played more gay characters than I have done in my life Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the characters develop almost without your knowing it. You find them doing things you hadn’t planned on, and then I have to go back to page 42 and fix things. I’m not recommending it as a way to write. It’s very sloppy, but it works for me Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to read books where I feel as though I’ve stepped into the middle of things and don’t know what’s going on. I like to see characters I’ve met before, but I don’t want to feel left out because I haven’t read other books in the series Picture Quote #1

It’s kind of fun when you’re playing characters that aren’t quite on the up and up and people still like you Picture Quote #1

When you have satire, it has to be real. No matter how outrageous the comedy becomes, you have to believe in the characters Picture Quote #1

I play characters. I don’t think I really have a persona per se. I don’t play the same guy every time. I show up, you don’t know what I’m gonna do. I like it that way. I’ve intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that’s what’s interesting Picture Quote #1

When I am writing, I’m very much on the ground, on the same ground my characters are treading Picture Quote #1

Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically Picture Quote #1

There are all kinds of ways that people present their films, but that’s kind of a good feeling, if you can make it seem like the characters are really there Picture Quote #1

What do you do in a novel? You take recognizable characters from your own life, and you fantasize about what they’re really like Picture Quote #1

Pilots are so hard because you have to introduce all these characters, you have to hook an audience, and an audience has such a smaller attention span than maybe they used to have Picture Quote #1

I’m really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose! Picture Quote #1

I have a tendency as an actress in general to ground my characters. Even when doing outlandish characters, that’s my instinct Picture Quote #1

I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things Picture Quote #1

I always think I know the way a novel will go. I write maps on oversized art pads like the kind I carried around in college when I was earnest about drawing. I need to have some idea of the shape of the novel, where its headed, so that I can proceed with confidence. But the truth is my characters start doing and saying things I don’t expect Picture Quote #1

I’ve played a lot of really smarmy people in film, and it can be real fun, don’t get me wrong. But it can be characters I’m not as excited to explore Picture Quote #1
