Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

It's actually meditative to sit in a character for an extended period of time, realizing what your relationship is to who you're playing and then letting go, just being there.

It was a feeling of loyalty to our own sex and an enthusiasm to have every degradation that was put upon our sex removed.

Habits change into character.

Perhaps what distinguishes my characters is their courage and spirit and a certain stubbornness which enables them to keep going even when facing a setback. I think this developed organically as I wrote, but also it came out of a desire to portray women as powerful and intelligent forces in the world.

What makes us love a character is a character that tries.

Character matters; leadership descends from character.

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
