Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.

Maybe some things aren't meant to be known. maybe there just meant to be accepted.

Wendy Mass

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

James Baldwin

The history of mankind is his character.

Johann von Goethe

As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a 'Near Great' even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then.

Thomas Frank

A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.

Desiderius Erasmus

Oscar Wilde

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.

Gary Ross

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

Sir Winston Churchill

Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.
