Johnny Depp is really my favorite male actor. Ellen Page would be my favorite female actor. Both of them, just because of the diversity that Johnny plays in his roles and just the different characters that he morphs into, it's fantastic.
Everyone wants the two characters to be together, but then once they are, it's not that much fun.
Creating the characters is the most creative part of the novel except for the language itself. There I am, sitting in front of my computer in right-brain mode, typing the things that come to mind - which become the seeds of plot. It's scary, though, because I always wonder: Is it going to be there this time?
I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.
My characters are actually usually pretty smart and admirable.
When I went to college, I lived on campus, and the guys I hung out with made the characters in Revenge of the Nerds look like the Rat Pack in 1962. I, myself made that kid Booger look like Remington Steele.
One of the things I really like about Ford's films is how there is always a focus on the way characters live, and not just the male heroes.
So if u shorten words to get what u want in within 140 characters it makes u a twit?
Readers need to stop assuming characters are white if race isn't explicitly defined.
The Universe is a dream dreamed by a single dreamer where all the dream characters dream too.
Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
The thing I like about the sci-fi genre is that you get to examine universal themes and polarizing moral choices. The characters have a lot on their shoulders and are often trying to survive in some very difficult and hostile environments.
In Garden Party or 40 Days and 40 Nights, I played characters who people dont necessarily like; I just find some humanity in them.
Even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror.
What's interesting about the movie and characters is that they're one thing to the world and another thing in their heads.
And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They're a lot of fun, they're sexy, they're manipulative, they're dangerous.
Usually, with a novel, you start with no idea what to do because your job is to create convincing characters and then they just run around getting crazy. The problem with writing a memoir, obviously, is you can't do that because you sort of know what's going to happen. Because you're the character.
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. In opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. Evil is arguable, but good is not. Therefore the Devil always wins the argument.
I find the characters in my head and the more I write about them, the better I get to know them.
