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

Irving Stone

I'm certainly a plot and character man. Themes, structure, style - they're valid components of a novel and you can't complete the book without them. But I think what propels me as a reader is plot and character.

David Mitchell

Where does a character come from? Because a character, at the end of the day, a character will be the combination of the writing of the character, the voicing of the character, the personality of the character, and what the character looks like.

Brian Henson

I think every time you take a female character, a black character, a Hispanic character, a gay character, and make that the point of the character, you are minimalizing the character.

Len Wein

I didn't want to do comedy again. It is way harder when you are doing comedy. You can't just concentrate on the character and the plot. In comedy, the writers, instead of obsessing about character and plot, obsess about the jokes.

Patricia Richardson

The characters are the plot. What they do and say and the things that happen to them are, in a sense, what the plot is. You can't take character and plot apart from each other, really.

Terry Pratchett

When you describe a character's dream, it has to be sharper than reality in some way and more meaningful. It has to somehow speak to plot, character, and all the rest.

Jeff Vandermeer

I try not to divide plot and character. I get to know a character by what they want and fear and how those internal forces play out in their lives.

Julianna Baggott

My key interest in choosing scripts is character-driven stories, because there are so many stories that sacrifice character for plot.

Lasse Hallstrom

I definitely feel that plot flows from character. I don't believe that you can construct a plot and insert people into it.

Lisa Unger

I definitely feel that plot flows from character. I dont believe that you can construct a plot and insert people into it.

Lisa Unger

Dialogue is character and character is plot.

George V

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

Zoe Kazan

Any character that you come up with or create is a piece of you. You're putting yourself into that character, but there's the guise of the character. So there's a certain amount of safety in the character, where you feel more safe being the character than you do being just you

Johnny Depp

I pride myself on doing character-driven movies and, when my movies have worked, it's been because of the right casting and the right character, and it just clicks.

Doug Liman

I write from this tight third-person viewpoint, where each chapter is seen through the eyes of one individual character. When I'm writing that character, I become that character and identify with that character.

George R. R. Martin
