Characters Quotes

I always had a lot of confidence in my work and the unique flavor I like to bring to my characters, but you know I’m not a huge dreamer Picture Quote #1

My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way Picture Quote #1

I think in many ways, I’m sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I’m just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they’re doing what they’re doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character Picture Quote #1

When I’m creating characters, I definitely think of theme songs. Writing for me is very visual, so I sometimes think of it in terms of a movie with a soundtrack, and try to transfer that to words Picture Quote #1

The story is the only thing that’s important. Everything else will take care of itself. It’s like what bowlers say. You hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. But bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. If you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. But without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there’s nothing happening in the story. And the same is true with mood. Story is the only thing that’s important Picture Quote #1

Singing is an incredible expression and something that is important to me, but where I feel comfortable with how much I reveal about myself is acting. I enjoy the characters, the costumes, the wigs and just being a chameleon Picture Quote #1

Actors pull from their own experiences to bring reality to the characters. I wouldn’t want to play someone who’s a lot like me. There would be no turning it on or off Picture Quote #1

I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial Picture Quote #1

I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action Picture Quote #1

I think the tricky balance, the most important thing more than the horror is to have a compelling story, compelling drama, a show about great characters that you care about and you want to come back every week to see what they’re up to Picture Quote #1

One of the benefits to television is that you’re with these characters for years, you know them so well Picture Quote #1

The horses are all characters, all personalities. Some you get along with, some you don’t, some might take a bit longer Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I think it’s always important to separate yourself from your characters because, when you include yourself in a character, you’re taking a liberty that you don’t really have unless you’re life is that incredibly close to the character Picture Quote #1

I’m not writing great literature. I’m writing commercial fiction for people to enjoy the stories and to like the characters Picture Quote #1

When you’re playing a character in a book, there’s already a lot of pressure because all of the millions of people who have read the series have been able to envision and become very attached to the characters Picture Quote #1

One of my goals is to allow readers to see my characters and the world they inhabit as vividly as possible Picture Quote #1

I’ve played a baseball player a few times, but in my career I’ve been blessed to have played a wide range of characters Picture Quote #1

Any author of fiction will tell you that characters don’t need to be told what to do Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you have to realize that people want to like the characters, so you have to be careful to keep them involved Picture Quote #1

I consciously try to end my novels at a point where I won’t have to wonder about my characters ever again Picture Quote #1

Characters make their own plot. The dimensions of the characters determine the action of the novel Picture Quote #1

Fictional characters are made of words, not flesh; they do not have free will, they do not exercise volition. They are easily born, and as easily killed off Picture Quote #1

Being an author means, almost by definition, that you make up characters and then complicate their lives. That’s it, really. You make up characters and give them problem after problem after problem Picture Quote #1

I plot as I go. Many novelists write an outline that has almost as many pages as their ultimate book. Others knock out a brief synopsis... Do what is comfortable. If you have to plot out every move your characters make, so be it. Just make sure there is a plausible purpose behind their machinations. A good reader can smell a phony plot a block away Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to say I hear voices; well, actually I do hear voices, but I don’t think it’s supernatural. I think it’s just that when characters are given enough texture and backbone, then lo and behold, they stand on their own Picture Quote #1

Texas is just so rich with characters. Women who live alone in a little house on a thousand acres with nothing but cattle and a pickup truck. And an airplane Picture Quote #1

The interesting thing about fiction from a writer’s standpoint is that the characters come to life within you. And yet who are they and where are they? They seem to have as much or more vitality and complexity as the people around you Picture Quote #1

The truth is, everything ultimately comes down to the relationship between the reader and the writer and the characters. Does or does not a character address moral being in a universal and important way? If it does, then it’s literature Picture Quote #1

You can’t really write until the characters kind of show up one day and tell you what they’re going to say. You start to hear the rhythm of the way the people talk, and then it becomes easier Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some marvelous parts, but I’m also asked to play characters who are kind of superficial people Picture Quote #1
