Quotes about character
character mean clothes

character hair color
It's actually a character choice for a movie I've been filming in South Korea called Okja. My director had this idea of having my hair be a very vibrant red/pink/watermelon color.

I'm really loving it. It's turning into a thing for me.
character thinking advice

You can see how they interact with the rest of the crew, and how they deal with being a character and then being themselves.
character optimism trying
Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity.

The judge's authority depends upon the assumption that he speaks with the mouth of others. That is to say, the momentum of his utterances must be greater than any which his personal reputation and character can command, if it is to do the work assigned to it if it is to stand against the passionate resentments arising out of the interests he must frustrate for while a judge must discover some composition with the dominant trends of his times, he must preserve his authority by cloaking himself in the majesty of an overshadowing past. Learned Hand

character ideas special
But to be perfectly frank, this childish idea that the author of a novel has some special insight into the characters in the novel...it's ridiculous.

character hair car

Pat Schneider
