Characters Quotes

I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they’re unlike me, the better I like it Picture Quote #1

I used to do little sketches into my cassette tape recorder when I was a little boy. I would just turn it on and just start doing voices and characters. I just loved it Picture Quote #1

Most of the time, I get auditions for deaf characters where the scene has them communicating in really convoluted ways, like reading lips from across the room when the other persons back is turned or having other people parrot what they say Picture Quote #1

Exposing characters and their shortcomings gives me great comfort. Its always great to write about someone more mixed up than yourself Picture Quote #1

Im not one of those authors who claims to hear voices in my head or let the characters speak through me, whatever that might mean Picture Quote #1

The important thing is for the characters to feel real, and to be given the humanity they are due. That granting of humanity is what separates a full portrait from a stereotype Picture Quote #1

My first job is to write the characters as full and authentic people as well as I can Picture Quote #1

I have specific playlists for different books and characters. So, I need to have those with me. It helps me get into the mindset of the book Picture Quote #1

I think the main thing to remember when writing a novel is to stay true to the characters Picture Quote #1

My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend Picture Quote #1

I believe in characters as vehicles of exposition. Their voices are full of hidden clues, and I like to listen to them Picture Quote #1

I want a character to wake up one day and feel like, I can face it. That, to me, is happy. I want the characters to rescue themselves, though you use the relationships you have, to make you strong enough to be able to do that Picture Quote #1

Part of me becomes the characters I’m writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result Picture Quote #1

I discovered you can get closer to a characters thoughts and feelings in a book than in a film Picture Quote #1

I base the roles I choose depending on the characters. That’s just how I’m gonna run my career. So if it’s a good role I’m gonna take it whether it be fantasy, or whether it be realistic or fiction, anything Picture Quote #1

I love doing roles and movies that are different from each other. That’s kind of why I like to be an actor because I get to play different characters and pretend I’m different people going through different situations Picture Quote #1

I think that the best characters are the ones who both manage to be attractive and repulsive at the same time Picture Quote #1

The thing to me that’s fun is trying to make the characters seem believable, or realistic. And it’s especially challenging when you’re doing fantasy stories, when you’re doing superhero types of things Picture Quote #1

Virtually every kid is exposed to giants and ogres and talking wolves, and so forth. And magic. And I think you never outgrow your love for those imaginative, fanciful, farfetched, fantastic characters and situations Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been attracted to characters with insurmountable odds and obstacles, because innately, however inarticulately I’ve always believed that my dreams and my desires can command and bend time and space to be the things that I want them to be Picture Quote #1

I’m so personally attached to all the characters I met and photographed over the years... the anthology is like a photographic reliquary that could potentially preserve their grace, fierce joy, and restlessness Picture Quote #1

The characters are the plot. What they do and say and the things that happen to them are, in a sense, what the plot is. You can’t take character and plot apart from each other, really Picture Quote #1

I think I do pretty well with child characters. It’s hard to write kids that are realistic, not annoying, and bring something to the story Picture Quote #1

The funniest things just come from honesty. We have a tendency to see female characters as representative of something larger than what they are, when male characters are just characters Picture Quote #1

Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect Picture Quote #1

I always love writing the third book in a series because you get to tie up all the threads that you put out in the first two books. You finally let people know what really happens and reveal all the secrets and bring certain characters together Picture Quote #1

I still recommend reading travel guides as an insight to a travellers perspective on fantasy worlds. Nearly all characters end up travelling at some point, and they have many of the same needs and concerns covered in travel guides Picture Quote #1

I had a love affair with books, with characters and their words. Books kept me company. When the voices of the book faded, as with the last long chord of a record, the back cover crinkling closed, I could swear I heard a door click shut Picture Quote #1

When I’m happiest writing is just not knowing where it goes and just let the characters bring you there Picture Quote #1

With historicals, the research is half the fun. Contemporaries are especially easy. People are right out there in front of you; you meet them every day. You can concentrate wholly on the story and characters Picture Quote #1
