When I create characters, I create a world to inhabit and they begin to feel very real for me. I don't belong in a psych ward, I don't think, but they become very real, like my own family, and then I have to say goodbye, close the door, and work on other things.

Lois Lowry

None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.

Anna Paquin

None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. That wouldn't be acting.

Anna Paquin

I like complex characters. I've been very, very lucky to portray, in these past three years, characters that are strong and fragile at the same time. It's those characters that I'm looking for. In the last year and half I played three different religions, and that allowed me to educate myself so much.

Moran Atias

I'm not saying I talk to cartoon characters all the time, but the characters are very real to me. In a very non-insane way.

Paul Dini

I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.

Rachel Weisz

No, none of us seem so very real. We're only supporting characters in the lives of each other. Any real truth, any precious fact will always be lost in a mountain of shattered make-believe.

Chuck Palahniuk

I've played several real characters, and I've always found it very difficult because you don't want to do an impersonation.

Tony Goldwyn

I looked at early movies with Robert Redford, and I like how Robert, even though he had that automatic charisma and was a very verbal person, he always played those more silent characters and played within the scene and never overacted.

Daniel Espinosa

Those are two artists that I worked with real closely. Me and Miley are real close, me and Future are real close.

Mike Will Made It

It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.

Gillian Flynn

I haven't personally in my real life had many people close to me die, but my characters have, and I've had to live that as though it's real. And it can take a really big emotional toll on someone.

Nina Dobrev

The film [Close Up] made itself, to a large extent. The characters involved were very real, I wasn't directing the actors so much as being directed by them. So it was a very particular film.

Abbas Kiarostami

I think the idea, first and foremost, is to understand that people may label these characters as villains, but at the end of the day I have to fall in love with the characters that I play. For me, they have to be real characters with real objectives, and driving forces. So they're all different.
