People who act against their own best interests are interesting characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.
The characters that aren't what they seem to be or women who are stronger than people give them credit for or characters you underestimate, I always think are really interesting because there are so many possibilities with them.
I feel like, sometimes, characters that are just good and nice can seem boring or uninteresting.
I think that characters who are nice all the time and who you sympathize with can get really boring.
It's interesting to have two totally unlikable characters as the love interests on a show.
The thing I respond to the most is just great writing, interesting characters. I like to think that there is something fun about playing a character that has a lot of authority in her own life.
Nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters. They only make good former spouses.
I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.
To create a character who really interests you, try combining aspects of your favourite fictional character with a real person.
A character on screen that's the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' they're never interesting. There's got to be an internal struggle, the duality is important to find.
