Whenever I have had to write fiction, I've always had to invent a character who roughly has my background.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
Every time when I start preparing my character for a movie, I always try to make up and create my own background story for the role in order to fill it with life.
There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.
Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.
I always devise a background so that it makes what your character goes through logical and keeps up the continuity.
I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
I put a lot of myself into my characters when I write.
My characters are fictional. I get ideas from real people, sometimes, but my characters always exist only in my head.
Writers do draw inspiration from their own lives, which, quite frankly, might be more interesting than fiction.
I'm not the most famous guy in the world; my work is spread out across different mediums, and I never write the same kind of story and rarely even do the same character from one year to the next.
