I love the TV show, and if you make a bad movie it means you've soiled it. Just like if we made an advert. We were offered so many times and I'd say, look, this is the good thing, and you can't compromise that, because then you compromise the integrity of the characters.
Jennifer Saunders

We had this party in New York, and there were a lot of gay men there dressed up as the characters. I showed up just looking like myself, but it was a real case of shame. They looked so fantastic. We could never quite live up to it.
Jennifer Saunders

The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance.
Samuel Butler

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.
Ben Stiller

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Francoise Sagan

I think people throughout the world identify with my characters.
Sidney Sheldon

It's a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We've got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we've explored some of the secondary characters' personal lives a bit more.
Matt Groening

Since I was there in the very beginning, I know the history of the characters. So, I make comments about the tone and sometimes remind the writers that we've done that before.
Matt Groening

If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them.
Sidney Sheldon

What I do is put my characters into situations that are so precarious there is no way to get out. And then I figure how to get them out.
Sidney Sheldon

There's this sense of excitement because you invent and control the characters. You decide whether they live or die. I find this type of creative process tremendously stimulating.
Sidney Sheldon

In a novel, on the other hand, you not only have to describe the rooms, but the clothes, the characters and what they are thinking. It's a much more in-depth process.
Sidney Sheldon

The fact that my female characters have strong personalities but are also physically attractive probably reflects the women I've known in my life.
Sidney Sheldon

We must consider the distinctive characters and the general nature of plants from the point of view of their morphology , their behavior under external conditions, their mode of generation, and the whole course of their life.
Theophrastus

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.
Halle Berry

You know, I have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.
Rachel McAdams

Actually the copies of characters is something I don't particularly like to talk about in articles but just for your information, most characters there's only one.
Jim Henson

Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
Leonardo DiCaprio

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.
E. M. Forster
