I always find stuff in my characters to relate to.
Gerard Butler

My characters have undergone the same process of simplification as the colors. Now that they have been simplified, they appear more human and alive than if they had been represented in all their details.
Joan Miro

I put heavy emphasis on the characters.
Keenen Ivory Wayans

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.
Keenen Ivory Wayans

Interestingly that some of the characters did not turn out the way Jim and Allen had envisioned them.
Mary Tyler Moore

There's the theory that nudity doesn't really make something sexy; the characters and their relationship make it sexy.
Tim Robbins

You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
Victoria Abril

You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does.
Glenn Close

My characters always like themselves.
Amy Sedaris

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
Monica Bellucci

I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are.
Jim Jarmusch

I like doing them and they're ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don't have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They're really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.
Jim Jarmusch

The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
Bela Lugosi

Television provides the opportunity for an ongoing story - the opportunity to meld the cast and the characters and a world, and to spend more time there.
David Lynch

My characters are always on the outside; the spotlight's not on them. But they do get somewhere.
Jeanette Winterson

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
Catherine Deneuve

I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
Juliette Binoche

I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Juliette Binoche

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.
Juliette Binoche

If you don't have obsessions, don't write. my characters are obsessed.
Marguerite Young
