As long as the protagonist wants something, the audience will want something Picture Quote #1

People always want to identify a writer with their protagonist Picture Quote #1

The orphan in children’s literature allows the child protagonist to move the story forward themselves. I think that, however happy a family, every intelligent child thinks: ‘How did I come to be born to these parents?’ - it is about finding your place in the world Picture Quote #1

It may sound very strange, but I love the freedom that writing a novel gives me. It is an unhindered experience. If I come after a bad day, I can decide that my protagonist will die on page 100 of my novel in a 350-page story Picture Quote #1

My foray into young adult lit was by no means planned. I wrote the first ‘Alfred Kropp’ book as an adult novel, which everyone loved but no one would publish - until I changed my protagonist from a thirty-something P.I. into a 15-year-old kid. After that, it was off to the races, and I am so glad Picture Quote #1

A lot of narrative films leave you no space for anything else but eating popcorn. I want to go in the complete opposite direction. I have to evacuate all psychology, to be less a protagonist and more a presence Picture Quote #1

My intent is not to inflame Muslims but to entertain readers of great thrillers. At the end of the day, I want people to see a good protagonist struggle against serious odds and do so with courage and honor and integrity Picture Quote #1

Most modern science fiction went to school on ‘Dune.’ Even ‘Harry Potter’ with its ‘boy protagonist who has not yet grown into his destiny’ shares a common theme. When I read it for the first time, I felt like I had learned another language, mastered a new culture, adopted a new religion Picture Quote #1

The fictional world seems larger, seems to have more dimension and richness when, for example, the protagonist from one novel you’ve read has a cameo role in another. I think that recognition is a very, very powerful phenomenon; it is one of the deepest and greatest pleasures of reading Picture Quote #1

Quite often my narrator or protagonist may be a man, but I’m not sure he’s the more interesting character, or if the more complex character isn’t the woman Picture Quote #1

My female protagonist will not be this promiscuous, beautiful, dark-haired, thin lady. It will be a plump, blond, healer and so forth Picture Quote #1

It’s not my business to remedy deaths! It’s my business to tell stories. Lyra and the other heroines didn’t come with placards saying, Make this a feminist story! I’m glad people enjoy seeing a female protagonist in a big adventure story, but I didn’t do it for political reasons Picture Quote #1

Black Swan’ does what Hollywood movies have always done - it spends its energies on getting some surface things right while getting everything important wrong. Darren Aronofsky, the director, applies the same techniques and the same sensibility here as he did with ‘The Wrestler,’ only with a prettier protagonist Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to play a soldier and I’d never taken on a character where I’m the happy-go-lucky protagonist. I’ve played a lot of jerks recently Picture Quote #1

I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you’re going to have this lone protagonist, they’re going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys Picture Quote #1

The beauty of fantasy is that it allows the protagonist to pass through fear to come to know this different reality and to find a place in it Picture Quote #1

You can, I think, have a quiet and steady protagonist and not run the risk of terminal dullness as long as exciting things happen to them and around them, and crime is the ideal genre for making this come about Picture Quote #1

I started writing ‘Leaves Of Grass’ when my professional life was falling apart somewhat. I just had a movie implode in pre-production. And so I came back licking my wounds to New York, where I live, and started to write a script about a protagonist for whom the exact same thing happened: His life was falling apart Picture Quote #1

I think boys don’t always like to read books with female protagonist - I don’t even know what to say about this Picture Quote #1

We chicks have munched our popcorn while romantic comedies became just comedies, and then each female protagonist got recast for Mathew McConaughey or Seth Rogan Picture Quote #1

If I have a male protagonist, it’s a studio movie, and if it’s a female protagonist, it’s an indie movie. That’s just how it is. It’s not about the studios. It’s about America and who goes to see movies. Women are interested in men and women, and men aren’t interested in the woman’s story. They just aren’t Picture Quote #1

We’ve all seen lots of stories about a young protagonist having adventures, and usually they’re all boys, [and] there is sometimes a token female, or two Picture Quote #1

I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person Picture Quote #1

First person allows deeper insight into the protagonist’s character. It allows the reader to identify more fully with the protagonist and to share her world quite intimately. So it suits a story focused on one character’s personal journey. However, first person shuts out insights into other characters Picture Quote #1

I gravitated to Judy Blume early on. ‘Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing’ was my favorite, with a realistic and relatable protagonist in Peter Hatcher. When I reached the fourth grade, I made the leap to science fiction and never looked back Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to play a soldier and I’d never taken on a character where I’m the happy-go-lucky protagonist. I’ve played a lot of jerks recently Picture Quote #1
