The progress of the American Revolution has been so rapid and such the alteration of manners, the blending of characters, and the new train of ideas that almost universally prevail, that the principles which animated to the noblest exertions have been nearly annihilated. ↗

I like working closely with artists. I think that's very important in fantasy and science fiction - the visual aspect of the worlds and the characters. ↗

I know some things when I start. I know, let's say, that the play is going to be a 1970s or a 1930s play, and it's going to be about a piano, but that's it. I slowly discover who the characters are as I go along. ↗

Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters. ↗

I try to play characters who are different from myself, so I feel like this character is someone who is really different. I actually think that if I did what he did in this movie, I would get a restraining order put against me. ↗

I don't think you can discriminate against budgets, you know? I'm an actor, I guess, so I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can. If there's a character I think I can play, and they're going to let me do it, I'll do it whether it's $10 or $1 million or more. ↗

When I write now I do not invent situation, characters, or actions, but rather structures and discursive forms, textual groupings which are combined according to secret affinities among themselves, as in architecture or the plastic arts. ↗

Every once in awhile I like to play dark ladies, crazy ladies, but most often I look for characters that are strong, intelligent, caring - usually earth women, because that's basically how I see myself. ↗

If you watch young children play, you will notice that they create games, characters, situations, whole worlds in which they immerse themselves with intense concentration. ↗

There's a lot more to see when you're playing and because of the advances in technology it makes room for all kinds of new characters. ↗
