Actors are the most important. Performance is what matters. Nothing matters more than the actors; they have to perform. No one else can give life to the characters. Audiences must believe the characters as real and the moments as real.

Mani Ratnam

I always play outsiders. I think I'm carrying a lot of those characters and I wonder if I play them because those characters need an extra element of thought to bring them to life.

Zawe Ashton

I'm an actor. I have to play weird characters, quirky characters, strange characters, sometimes characters I don't understand.

Keke Palmer

Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.

Song Hye-kyo

There are so few shows that are willing to take risks with their characters in the way that 'Homeland' does. And yet, the audience still comes back and loves those characters.

Raza Jaffrey

Every filmmaker has his own vision, and when they write a film or characters, they see certain people in those characters.

Nushrat Bharucha

Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.

Jessica Chastain

It's our job as actors to make it look like it's not manufactured. If you have two actors who understand their characters - and therefore what they are trying to portray - then all they need to do is be the characters and there's a chemistry there.

Henry Cavill

I'm portraying out characters, I'm portraying femme characters, characters that are really outside of the box. I never thought I would get that opportunity to portray those characters at all, much less have a career that I have.

Nico Santos

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.

Jamie Foxx

In Australia, I wrote lots of little plays and put them on, and then I worked on a few different TV shows, like the Australian equivalent of 'SNL.' I would write and perform all of my characters.

Rebel Wilson

There are very few works of fiction that take you inside the heads of all characters. I tell my writing students that one of the most important questions to ask yourself when you begin writing a story is this: Whose story is it? You need to make a commitment to one or perhaps a few characters.

Julia Glass

All of the actors that have served to me as inspiration over the years have been those more associated with dramatic work who have, in turn, been able to embody their characters and lose themselves in those characters that they create.

Adhir Kalyan

I don't know whether it's audiences or filmmakers who want characters to be likable today, but I don't think actors are afraid of their characters being unlikable.

Dakota Fanning

I would love for people to think that I am as quick, clever, smart and heroic as the characters that I write, but those characters are characters.

Aaron Sorkin

Making a movie is about following characters and embarking on an adventure with them, seeing their reactions, and seeing what they do, having empathy for those characters, feeling for those characters, embarking on this adventure.
