“If you're an actor, always be true to your character. If you are not an actor, have character and always be true to yourself.”
“...if you're an actor, and you've thought your way into the part, then you're character portrayal will have authority...”
“In writing, as in life, always be true to your character.”
“I have always believed that character is destiny, that if you know someone's true character, you can pretty much map out how your association with that person will unfold. If the person's character is honorable, you will be treated honorably. If the person's character is selfish, then you will have to give more to the person than you'll ever receive.”
“Directors are always changing things at the last minute. Actors will do a scene, and the director will say, ‘Okay, that was perfect, but this time, Bob, instead of saying “What’s for dinner?” you say, “Wait a minute! Benzene is actually a hydrocarbon!” And say it with a Norwegian accent. Also, we think maybe your character should have no arms.”
“Always be true to your friends, just as you are to yourself.”
