Characters Quotes

I believe strongly that characters are five-dimensional, and they’re complicated, and life is complicated, and people are complicated Picture Quote #1

People love to talk about how the 70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the 80s, they got away with some of those too Picture Quote #1

I love the powerful woman who’s complicated. There’s no push to be one thing or another thing. It’s all human. That’s what you look for as an actor: characters written and portrayed in the most human way possible Picture Quote #1

Creating the characters is the most creative part of the novel except for the language itself. There I am, sitting in front of my computer in right-brain mode, typing the things that come to mind - which become the seeds of plot. It’s scary, though, because I always wonder: Is it going to be there this time? Picture Quote #1

Finding the discipline, the motivation, the focus, the passion to sit down in front of a blank piece of paper or a blank computer screen every day and then to make it come alive with characters and with plot is incredibly exciting and at the same time terrifying and frustrating, and sometimes it comes easy and sometimes it comes really hard Picture Quote #1

Root out the counterrevolutionaries without mercy, lock up suspicious characters in concentration camps... Shirkers will be shot, regardless of past service Picture Quote #1

In particular, I’m drawn to the stories that have big, high concepts and real characters at their heart. And I love where those two worlds meet, and ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ is the perfect canvas to explore that Picture Quote #1

Psych yourself up until you’re confident that the world will be interested in what happens to your characters. Confidence is key Picture Quote #1

I’m certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess Picture Quote #1

The best fiction is geared towards conflict. We learn most about our characters through tension, when they are put up against insurmountable obstacles. This is true in real life Picture Quote #1

I think vampires are different from human beings, but they’re sentenced to eternity on this planet. They have the same confusion about love and permanence, integrity, and denial. These qualities really are the same in vampire characters as in humans. I think they’re universal themes Picture Quote #1

At his heart, Shakespeare was a YA author. So many of his plays are set with high school-aged characters. He understood the passion, the confusion and drama that marks that life stage Picture Quote #1

In ‘The Prophet’ I really fell in love with those characters, there was an emotional connection there that I don’t think I’ve had in a while. It made me think it would be nice to stick with the characters for a little bit and see what happens 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 always wanted to do characters that would help me find my connection with others and connect all of us together. You always want the energy of the character, the spirit of the person, to enter you Picture Quote #1

I had gone to New York with no plan at all. I did a lot of jobs - barman, teacher, security guard, postman and construction worker - and I was meeting many eccentric characters, and they were saying funny things, which I always wrote down Picture Quote #1

An elegantly crafted novel, The Reluctant First Lady clearly documents author Venita Ellick as an exceptionally accomplished writer able to skillfully weave memorable characters into a riveting story line from beginning to end. As engaging as it is entertaining, The Reluctant First Lady is highly recommended for both personal reading lists and community library contemporary fiction collections Picture Quote #1

As artists, we are so not in control most of the time of the content or the narrative of our characters, and sometimes writing takes a turn and it’s not something we necessarily have control over. It’s just a lot of random dumb luck, so when things click, you’ve just got to enjoy it 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

When I write fiction, I have the illusion of being able to control these fictional worlds and these characters, and to make them say what I want them to say. Of course, the problem is that it is an illusion, and by the end of it you realize that you’re not in control of it at all; the characters have taken over, and they’re driving the vehicle Picture Quote #1

I know people think that I always play these characters who are in control and can chop someone’s head off with a look Picture Quote #1

Characters in TV and theatre tend to experience a lot of conflict, so I push myself through sport to physical and emotional levels that hurt so I’ve some other reference for extreme experience that isn’t me shouting at my girlfriend or my mum. It’s a way of controlling the uncontrollable Picture Quote #1

Schools provide safe spaces to talk about controversial issues, and literature presents characters portraying human experience in all its richness and contradictoriness Picture Quote #1

With writing fiction, I’m either not courageous enough or just not suited for telling truths in a more conventional way. As an actor, I inhabit those characters as I’m writing them Picture Quote #1

When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events Picture Quote #1

Also, worldbuilding touches all aspects of your story. It touches plot and character as well. If you don’t know the culture your character comes from, how can you know what he’s really like? You must know your characters on a much deeper level than you would if you just shrugged your way into a cookie cutter fantasy world Picture Quote #1

My dad had such a cool job. When you’re a voiceover actor, it’s a whole different skill - you’re bringing these huge, larger-than-life monsters and characters to life. And, also, you have to learn accents Picture Quote #1

The cool thing about Kyle Killen, he writes really defined characters. I was a big fan of ‘Awake’ and also ‘Lone Star.’ I just think that he’s a really, really special writer, and complex and deep, and a really smart dude Picture Quote #1

If we show fictional characters doing cool stuff, then girls will want to be it in real life Picture Quote #1

I love people like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, people who create and write their own stuff - especially when there’s just not enough cool, interesting characters out there Picture Quote #1
