"What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me "that "likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality."
Quote by -Helena Bonham Carter
"The shell is America's most active contribution to the formation of character. A tough hide. Grow it early."
Quote by -Anais Nin
"People have obsessions and fears and passions which they don't admit to. I think every character is interesting and has extremes. It's the novelist privilege to see how odd everyone is."
Quote by -Iris Murdoch
"There were very strict social conventions, and you adhered to it, and I think it gave you a lot of character. When a man said something, he meant it. He wasn't kidding around. There were no jokes involved. Nobody was in the mood to joke unless you hit a guy with a baseball bat."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."
Quote by -James Allen

Quote by -James D. Watson
I think there's grays in characters if you look at all the great characters, those characters that have those layers of being good and being bad and what's the struggle. It's always more interesting to watch.
Quote by -Jamie Foxx
To be the leading man it's about the celebrity and the looks, and it's tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith - they're built for that. I ain't. I'm more of a character guy.
Quote by -Jamie Foxx
There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.
Quote by -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact.
Quote by -Jeanne Moreau
It's all about being comfortable, being easy and having you be able to wear something and not having it wear you. It's classic. Every time I've tried to be bold and crazy, I feel like a Japanese animated cartoon character.
Quote by -Jennifer Aniston
But really, for the most part - doing a prequel is great because you do have room to kind of free this character and how they got to where they are instead of being a slave to exactly what the previous actor did.
Quote by -Jennifer Lawrence
I would really like to do a really cool one-hour show, maybe on, like, HBO or something like that; or something that I've spent a couple of years developing so it would be exactly the character and exactly in with a huge push behind it; or I would maybe want to do a sitcom; something light and funny.
Quote by -Jennifer Love Hewitt
"Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance."
Quote by -Altering Kurt
At first, I didn't realize it was gonna be a character. I just thought I was gonna be doing me.
Quote by -Larry David
Some of us are more concerned with our reputation than our character. The latter takes care of the former.
Quote by -Lecrae
Character isn't who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out.
Quote by -Lecrae
I couldn't deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y'know?
Quote by -Leonardo DiCaprio
I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life.
Quote by -Leonardo DiCaprio
I am not of the vein of actors - and I will not pretend to be one - that takes my character home with me. I don't.
Quote by -Leonardo DiCaprio
The bottom line is, when it comes to an actor and his performance, whether nominated or not, it simply has to do with whether that character had enough resonance with the audience. You know, to the filmgoers. And that something that you can't control.
Quote by -Leonardo DiCaprio
It's actually a character choice for a movie I've been filming in South Korea called Okja. My director had this idea of having my hair be a very vibrant red/pink/watermelon color. We haven't finished filming so I'm kind of riding the wave of the red hair right now in terms of everything else that I have to do with The Last Tycoon press and you know, regular life. I'm really loving it. It's turning into a thing for me.
Quote by -Lily Collins
I'm such a believer in going to set, even when you're not work because I think the best things to be learned, you don't necessarily get from your own scene or from someone speaking to you and telling you advice. I think it's all about watching and just taking it all in. It's not even when the cameras are rolling, necessarily. You can see how they interact with the rest of the crew, and how they deal with being a character and then being themselves.
Quote by -Lily Collins
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
A dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man’s skin determines the content of his character;
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The only two characters I can play convincingly are myself and a dumber and sweeter version of myself.
Quote by -Zach Anner
Throughout history in the theater and film people do like sarcastic characters, and they do like curmudgeons - if they're amusing, they do like them despite the fact that they're vitriolic, particularly if they're for the right thing. If you can see that the person is a decent person and is for the right thing, and is not just a nasty person with base motives, but someone who is a decent human but expresses himself.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I'm not interested in playing characters who see the world through my prism. I think the journey of understanding any character is to see how they tick and how they differ from you.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.

Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly

Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I often have a few scents depending on if I'm playing a character. The character may be wearing a scent that perhaps I wouldn't wear. We've all got different moods and ways we want to express ourselves; scent is a very powerful way to let people in to your secret life.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I've got a funny old face. Someone described it once, and I think they were being kind, as character. But I know what they mean! I've never been that conventional. I suppose maybe it means that my face can look different in different lights, so I just try and sort of keep it simple when I'm going out, to still look like me.
