Quotes about character
character reality ideas
We depend on our words...Our task is to communicate experience and ideas to others. We must strive continually to extend the scope of our description, but in such a way that our messages do not thereby lose their objective or unambiguous character...We are suspended in language in such a way that we cannot say what is up and what is down. The word 'reality' is also a word, a word which we must learn to use correctly. Niels Bohr
character writing car
I thought of the scene while writing scenes with Rebecca [Hall] and wrote it like an opening montage of showing where someone works.

I thought it probably wouldn't even make it into film but I ended up liking it. Nicole Holofcener

If you cared enough about your characters, what happened to them was interesting... It's important to care about them. About who they are and what they do..

There's an inherent responsibility actors feel when portraying something that actually exists in the world.

Miranda July
