People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

I try not to have too many opinions; I just marvel at the world we live in.

People forget that the more we know about the world - about people, cultures, and about life - the stronger we are as actors because the more we can bring to our characters.

You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.

There are so many people in the world with so many different perspectives. But ultimately, at the heart of it, they're people.

I think all our characters are an amalgam of people we know in our world and ourselves.

Most of the people of this world are coated round and round with self-esteem, and they're afraid to admit any understanding of the things which aren't good.

I think, to me, I was always taught you never approach any character as a villain. Every human being on earth really believes that they're doing the best thing. We all have our rationalizations.

I think people throughout the world identify with my characters.
