One of the things that makes characters real is details. Life offers a lot of details. You just have to choose and use them wisely.

Kafka is one of my very favorite writers. Kafka’s fictional world is already so complete that trying to follow in his steps is not just pointless, but quite risky, too.

I would rather portray the hero, if it’s a really great film. All my favorite fictional film characters are heroes, such as in The Last of the Mohicans and Robin Hood Picture Quote #1
