Action Character Revealed Through

Quote Author

Greek - Philosopher
384 BC - 322 BC

Action is only really compelling when it reveals character - character revealed through action, and not action for its own sake.

Paul Greengrass

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.

Zoe Kazan

Perception is naturally surpassed toward action; better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an "always future hollow", for we are always future to ourselves.

Jean-Paul Sartre

PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.

Aristotle

As the character talks and moves, the world around him is slowly revealed, just like dollying a camera back for a wider look at things. So all my stories start with a character, and that character introduces setting, culture, conflict, government, economy... all of it, through his or her eyes.

Robin Hobb

Joe and I always say that our guide through action is always story and character. We're always driving right at the character beats, or else the action beat doesn't work.

Anthony Russo

I've always been very strong minded on character-based fights and character-based action. If you take the character out of the action and you just shoot it as an action sequence, the audience starts to lose connection.

Wade Eastwood

There was a saying that a man's true character was revealed in defeat. I thought it was also revealed in victory.

Alison Goodman

Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.

Eckhart Tolle

People often believe that character causes action, but when it comes to producing moral children, we need to remember that action also shapes character.

Adam Grant

In 'Yours Truly,' I was the centre of the story; I was the protagonist. There was a lot more happening inside the mind of the character which was not projected loudly through dialogue and action... As a performer, playing such a nuanced, internal character is challenging.

Soni Razdan

As the United Nations pushes for jurisdiction over the globe, it is important to remember how it has acted in Bosnia. The character of an institution, no less than of an individual, is revealed through actions, not words.

Wendy McElroy

The centre of the tragedy, therefore, may be said with equal truth to lie in action issuing from character, or in character issuing in action.

A. C. Bradley

I try to stay away from stuff that's just action, action, action, action, action, and you kind of fast-forward through the dialogue scenes. I'm not interested in doing that. Give me a reason to fight, and I'll go there. But don't just make it, 'You touched my pen! Haaa-yah!' I've done that before.

Mark Dacascos

Having removed the dictator, the allies have moved to put Iraqis in control of Iraq. Now, as they draft and ratify their Constitution, we will indeed see the character of a new Iraqi nation revealed through the principles it chooses to uphold.

Kay Granger

The biographical novel sets out to document this truth, for character is plot, character development is action, and character fulfillment is resolution.
