Characters Quotes

I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren’t very many bad guys in my novels Picture Quote #1

Probably the greatest writer of westerns himself was Homer. His character were never all good or all bad. They’re half and half, these characters, as all human beings are Picture Quote #1

The thing that I like about the way characters are written on the show these days is that nobody’s perfect. Everyone has made a lot of mistakes and bad choices Picture Quote #1

I think that the episodes are like mini horror films really; the characters make bad decisions early on and these things just snowball for them and get worse and worse. And that’s what I find funny Picture Quote #1

There are no black and white, good or bad characters in ‘Game Of Thrones,’ but Joffrey was an exception. Just pure evil Picture Quote #1

I don’t keep a record of the parts I’ve played, and I don’t compare characters, but maybe I should? I could construct a graphic that grades badness and madness levels? Interesting idea Picture Quote #1

Thou shalt not use the 140 characters limit as an excuse for bad grammar and/or incorrect spelling 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

You know, the best-laid plans of mice and men... I like playing bad guys, and I don’t have a problem doing that. They’re interesting characters, and there’s as many different kinds of bad guys as there are good guys - they’re rich, they’re strong, they’re powerful, and so that’s fine with me Picture Quote #1

I don’t like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they’re great, but as heroes they don’t work Picture Quote #1

There are certain artists and filmmakers who, I get the impression, are trying to show off how bad their characters can be, how immoral their characters can be Picture Quote #1

You never want to be in a position where your reader feels like you’re passing judgment on your own characters. Any novel where you feel like the author is talking to the reader over the characters’ heads is in a bad place Picture Quote #1

I find that the only way to make my characters really interesting to children is to exaggerate all their good or bad qualities, and so if a person is nasty or bad or cruel, you make them very nasty, very bad, very cruel. If they are ugly, you make them extremely ugly. That, I think, is fun and makes an impact Picture Quote #1

I’ve always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I’m feeling in the moment. In fact, maybe that’s really it. In anything I’ve ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don’t think is a bad thing Picture Quote #1

In general, I think writing characters, no one is 100 percent good or bad, and certainly, the bad characters never think they’re bad themselves. Even the worst characters don’t feel like they’re bad guys on the inside Picture Quote #1

I love to have real people of history interact with my fictional characters. History gives me the plot. I research the period meticulously, and then I blend in a romantic and sensual love story to give it balance. The heavier the history, the more romantic the couple must be Picture Quote #1

I like very dry humor. I don’t like things that are over the top. I like subtlety. I like things that are nonchalant. I like characters that are sort of monotone and based in dark comedy Picture Quote #1

There are always certain things that you tap into, your own personal experiences, and I try to base my characters on someone I know or someone I’ve seen 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

But the West of the old times, with its strong characters, its stern battles and its tremendous stretches of loneliness, can never be blotted from my mind Picture Quote #1

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs Picture Quote #1

I think Caesar is one of the most empathetic characters that I’ve played. I think that’s the key to a successful leadership. Being able to keep your ears open at all times Picture Quote #1

I tell about some of the female characters from the Bible so girls can be inspired and empowered and uplifted Picture Quote #1

Now, admittedly, Twitter can be entertaining on occasion, as it turns out that 140 characters offers a great chance to be misunderstood - and an even greater chance one will expose his inner troglodyte Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I pretend not to look at my own characters, because that’s like different people getting off with your girlfriend or something 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
