If you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.
Jason Statham

Basically, I think that there are some characters that you can just allow the truth of your character as a human being in your real life to come through.
Edward James Olmos

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.
Michelangelo Antonioni

I can create countries just as I can create the actions of my characters. That is why a lot of travel seems to me a waste of time.
Jerzy Kosinski

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

You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.
Michelangelo Antonioni

I always think that I love doing what I'm doing at the moment. The past is over. I can't go play one of those characters again. But I can play this and I can continue to grow in what I'm doing at the moment and that's really what I'm thinking about now.
Gavin MacLeod

I was thinking about what I wanted to write next, after my first novel, and had decided that I wanted to write a story with a lot of strong female characters in it.
Joan D. Vinge

Because they feel that without them telling you to do this, you wouldn't have had the characters that you have, you wouldn't have the book that you have.
Dan DeCarlo

I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters.
Gilbert Hernandez

TV's hard work. I don't know how the hell Angela Lansbury survived doing 'Murder, She Wrote' all those years. And sure, everyone wants to be Bruce Willis or George Clooney - they want to be in film for the range of characters you get to play.
Christopher Meloni

One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters.
Nancy Kerrigan

I always believed in my characters. I lived them.
Irene Dunne

When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.
Luigi Pirandello

It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
Brenda Blethyn

Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters.
Tara Strong

When you have an idea for a story, you want those characters to reach as many people as you can. I think you normally think of prose as a way of doing that. It fits our time, the culture.
Robert Morgan

Watergate is an immensely complicated scandal with a cast of characters as varied as a Tolstoy novel.
Bob Woodward

I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
Todd Barry

If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious.
Manuel Puig
