I think the way we react to things is a big indicator of our character and what type of person we are.

When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.

Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.

It's how I express myself - through storytelling and characters. They often reveal very intimate, vulnerable sides of myself.

Character is expressed through our behavior patterns, or natural responses to things.

One of the ways that you reveal character is by getting a character into a situation and seeing what they do.

There's so many things that people do on a daily basis that they do as a way of defining who they are. But really, what defines who you are is when circumstances push you to the edge.

I think every writer will tell you that their characters are always partially themselves: who I am and what I've experienced. It's always there in part of my characters.

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

You meet lots of people in your life, and sometimes you think that people are a certain way, and then they reveal themselves to be a different way.
