The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unlike life, you've got more or less complete control over what's going on in your stories. That's not to say you can make characters do whatever you want them to - they usually have a life of their own if you've done your job properly.
Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.
My characters all have issues, but I don't see that as weird or abnormal because I think in real life there are very few bland, normal people.
The goal is to have every character take on a life of his or her own. Sometimes characters will come into the story that I haven't planned.
I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts.
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.
It's hard to know whether certain characters come to life or not, they either come to have their own life or they don't. I've written many things in which the characters just remain inert.
