Characters Quotes

I like to push characters to extremes so they have to make really tough decisions and there is no life more extreme than that of an athlete Picture Quote #1

I’m always determined that as a novelist I’m going to go out there and research my characters very thoroughly before I start writing Picture Quote #1

I loved being on stage. I was in elementary school when I started, so I couldn’t say that it was about the building of characters Picture Quote #1

It’s not like I don’t want to play the guy next door. But sometimes they’re not the best written or the most complicated. But I am very, very particular about my bad boys. There are certain types of characters I will not play. I’ve said no so many times to so many parts that are just way too dark. You have to be careful Picture Quote #1

I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters Picture Quote #1

I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human Picture Quote #1

I’ve done literally 100, 150 different characters. Some of them have only appeared for a line or three. But the point is, every sound I can make has been harvested Picture Quote #1

I think films about men are often about characters who don’t want to express their feelings. You’re supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that’s a bit dull. Women’s stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor Picture Quote #1

I never base characters on real people. There are people who do that but I really don’t know how to do it Picture Quote #1

One has to be able to twist and change and distort characters, play with them like clay, so everything fits together. Real people don’t permit you to do that Picture Quote #1

A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can’t balk at work like that. As an actor, that’s as good as it gets Picture Quote #1

I’m just trying to write a good story, strictly from imagination. People just think it’s random, they don’t see the rewriting, phrasing of characters, choosing the words, bringing the world to light in which the characters live in. That creates an illusion that this is real Picture Quote #1

I like making stories and characters that people can relate to. I also like giving the audience a departure from whatever they’re thinking about in their life and enjoying a show or a movie Picture Quote #1

Bad guys are complicated characters. It’s always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don’t have a heroic code you have to live by Picture Quote #1

I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn’t... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time Picture Quote #1

The work evolves when you get another part, and then you’re getting called on to solve difficult characters, to inject a note of humanity into them. It’s more interesting for me to do that than to stand around and be sunny Picture Quote #1

I’ve sort of closed my mind off to reality shows: I just don’t watch them, don’t care about them, don’t know who the characters are, but they’re all in general usage Picture Quote #1

I don’t really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies Picture Quote #1

I love the characters not knowing everything and the reader knowing more than them. There’s more mischief in that and more room for seriousness, too Picture Quote #1

I think it’s very important to write a demythologized woman character. My characters are flawed. They are no better than they should be Picture Quote #1

You know, I’ve always just made the choices on my characters based on my connection to them, and I’ve made decisions that maybe other people haven’t understood; why I passed on something, for instance Picture Quote #1

I’ve written original material before, where I’ve come up with the idea and the characters myself, and that’s definitely very different to working with someone else’s characters and stories Picture Quote #1

I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past, with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present Picture Quote #1

I still read romance, and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with strong characters, and I like stories where there’s closure at the end. And I like stories where there’s hope. That’s a kind of empowerment. I think romance novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too Picture Quote #1

I believe the most intricate plot won’t matter much to readers if they don’t care about the characters, especially in a series. So I try to focus hard on making each character, whether villain or hero, have an interesting flaw that readers can relate to Picture Quote #1

If you write a bunch of different characters with a bunch of different opinions, you end up with these long scenes of everyone standing around talking Picture Quote #1

A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter Picture Quote #1

I’m a massive daydreamer. I’m constantly lost within my own fantasies and my own thoughts personally, and I think maybe that is sort of represented in what we do for a living, the fact that we make believe everything and we escape into these other characters for a living Picture Quote #1

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions Picture Quote #1

Once you have your characters, they tell you what to write, you don’t tell them Picture Quote #1
