My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For mine, the villains of the piece were always important. In a traditional sense, that's always an important role.
In any character I ever play, whether she's good or bad or whatever, my most important thing is heart.
Characters are so important to a story that they actually decide where the story is going. When I write, I know my characters. I know how things are going to end, and I know some important incidents along the way.
Character is one of most precious parts of you. You can't get involved in things that will damage your character.
It's never been a priority for me to concentrate on the likability of the character.
Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.
I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.
I do think that the strongest character is somebody that you can connect with to your personal self, or at least find the humanity in both of you and start from there.
Character is the essence of all that a man has seen in life and regards as high and exalted. Character is like truth: the substance of the things that a man has forgotten but the substance of the things that are worth remembering in life.
My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.
