If the character is really well-rounded, and it's a really strong character, and if the writing is just fantastic, that's the thing that will hook me in, certainly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The characters are always the focal point of a book for me, whether I'm writing or reading. I may enjoy a book that has an intriguing mystery or a good plot, but to become one of my real favorites, it has to have great characters.
I like good stories. Quality products and character are what's important. Even if the script isn't that strong, if I challenge myself with a great character, I'll go for it.
I think a good story's a good story and a good character's a good character.
Generally, if a good script comes in I read it, and if it appeals to me, it appeals to me. And it doesn't have to be anything - it doesn't have to be the main character, it doesn't have to be a huge part. It could be a nice cameo - anything that I think is good and surrounded by good, enthusiastic people.
That's the way I will write characters, put a fair amount of myself in them, and then everyone else who was like that person, I will pick and choose.
I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.
You'll work hard to create characters that are compelling and unforgettable. But in the end, it's the story that matters.
I wouldn't like to be a character in one of my books!
Character is always my driving force. And to tell a good story and to provide an entertaining read.
There has to be something that I like about a character for me to be able to play him.
