Text Quotes
In plotting a book, my goal is to raise the stakes for the characters and, in so doing, keep the reader mesmerized.  (Characters Quotes) I don’t like drawing characters facing right. If I tried to do that at a book signing, I’d have to pencil it first.  (Characters Quotes) I get very invested in characters, it’s the only way I find that I can write a book and really make it work.  (Characters Quotes) In a book you can really talk about ideas and themes and characters in a deeper way than you can even on the screen.  (Characters Quotes) I’m always sorry to finish a book, to let go of characters I love, people I’ve struggled to understand for years, people who evolve before me.  (Characters Quotes) When I’m writing a book, sentence by sentence, I’m not thinking theoretically. I’m just trying to work out the story from inside the characters I’ve got.  (Characters Quotes) I have adapted the whole book [Candid] into tweets of 140 characters, and these are being sent out daily, at the rate of eight tweets per day .  (Characters Quotes) The reason I never want a book to end is that I start to feel like the characters are my friends. I’ll miss them when they’re gone.  (Characters Quotes) We had 1 book, the phone book, I’ve read it, it wasn’t a great read, lots of characters, and on the end loads of polish people turn up.  (Characters Quotes) Characters in a book are very much like personalities divvied up within a family. In the end, it all averages out to a sort of overall averageness.  (Characters Quotes) I’ve worked out a Ninja Replacement Score for novels. It’s basically the number of characters that need to be replaced by ninjas to make the book good.  (Characters Quotes) While writing, writers are living inside a character or characters, and when the book ekes into the world, writers are living inside the reader. That’s more than connecting.  (Characters Quotes) What I discovered is I don’t like to repeat lead characters because one of the most pleasurable things in a book to me is learning about the lead.  (Characters Quotes) It’s really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I’m every character.  (Characters Quotes) Push’ had a story, ‘The Paperboy’ story you could just throw up in the air and shoot holes through the book because the story wasn’t as strong. But I felt the characters were stronger in ‘The Paperboy’ they were vivid.  (Characters Quotes) I first read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as an adolescent. It’s a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.  (Characters Quotes) I rarely write in my own voice except in book reviews and memoirs; otherwise, I am writing in mediated voices, modulated in terms of the characters whom the voices express.  (Characters Quotes) I don’t know quite how a story develops in my head. It is a bit chaotic. If I am working on a series, one of the main characters at least is already in existence as well as some setting and minor characters. Finding the other main character can be a challenge. Sometimes this character already exists in a minor role in another book.  (Characters Quotes) For the most part, my characters don’t talk to me. I like to lord over them like some kind of benevolent deity. And, for the most part, my characters go along with it. I write intense character sketches and long, play-like conversations between me and them, but they stay out of the book writing itself.  (Characters Quotes) We become attached to certain characters in novels, mostly because they have some mystery attaching to them. We re-read the books, but we’re still left wanting to know more. In my own case, it was ‘Great Expectations’ and Miss Havisham in particular. Luckily, writers have the option of making up the knowledge that reading doesn’t supply.  (Characters Quotes) Disney produces fabulous movies around certain characters, and then they commercialize that engagement through toys, books, cruises.  (Characters Quotes) Characters develop as the book progresses, but any that start to bore me end up in the wastepaper basket. In real life, we may have to put up with tedious people, but not in novels.  (Characters Quotes) I never play characters that are like me because I’m a boring person. I wouldn’t want to see me in a movie.  (Characters Quotes) Humanizing good people is kind of boring and I don’t really see the value in it... humanizing tricky characters is exhilarating, and making audience films out of indie subjects excites me.  (Characters Quotes) I don’t want to just play gay characters, ... I think it would get boring to play the same thing again and again and again.  (Characters Quotes) I think that characters who are nice all the time and who you sympathize with can get really boring.  (Characters Quotes) When forced to survive in an apocalyptic world, there are some characters that embrace their higher selves with some emerging as natural born leaders, and others succumb to their more base and primal selves and basically transform into savages.  (Characters Quotes) When forced to survive in an apocalyptic world, there are some characters that embrace their higher selves with some emerging as natural born leaders, and others succumb to their more base and primal selves and basically transform into savages. It’s really a fascinating character study in the exploration of the human psyche.  (Characters Quotes) I’m much more interested in lesser-known eccentrics and characters and performers. Like Matthew Buchinger, who was born in Germany in 1674, had no arms or legs and yet did magic, and had 14 kids, and made the most extraordinary calligraphy.  (Characters Quotes) I think my mother characters have changed a lot since Sasha was born, just because I understand what a hard job it is now, and I’m coming at it from another angle - like you just love and care about this person so much, and just want to protect them from everything.  (Characters Quotes)
