Quote

The character of a man is known from his conversations.

A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things.

A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.

Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.

A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.

By sincerity, a man gains physical, mental and linguistic straightforwardness, and harmonious tendency; that is, congruence of speech and action.

Character is expressed through our behavior patterns, or natural responses to things.

My dad didn't have a formal education, but he had a wonderful vocabulary. So in 'Harvest,' I wanted my main character to be an innately intelligent man who would have the vocabulary to say whatever he wanted in the same way as lots of working-class people can.

The man of character is the persistent man, the man who is faithful to his own word, his own convictions, his own affections.
