People always love and respect characters who speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
Readers embrace all kinds of characters as long as they are written with emotional truth.
I'm not saying that I am all of my characters, but for me to bring a character to life, you've got to be able to find your own truth.
People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.
People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it's most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment.
Everyone loves characters that are relatable or who have unique quirks or tragic flaws.
But at the same time, the commonplace statement about them is true: every character is the hero of his own story. Each has a justification for his actions that is convincing to him. It's fun to give these people voices.
Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
It seems to me that most characters, in anything, are flawed in some way, just like most people. You look for the good in the flawed people and vice versa, and then try and make them appealing in some way.
People love a good story, even if it's a story that has very little truth to it.
