Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.

Character is expressed through our behavior patterns, or natural responses to things.
I think the idea is to try and understand everything about the characters and where the character is coming from, from their point of view, why they say what they do. And not, 'Oh, but I would never say that. Why does the character say that?' But then making it as personal as possible.
