I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

So I just play the character, I play the lines.

Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.

When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.

All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.

They didn't accept me theory - not a theory, but just a thought I had about this character. I noticed that this man only exists when the boy comes into the grocery.

This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition.

I was doing Hamlet in the off-season, and I had a specific idea in my mind about what I wanted that character to look like, and because it's going to lead into the next year, I knew that it was going to have to be established somewhere in the show.

It was nice, though, to have the long term benefit to be able to pare away those things and eventually make the character my own and put my own unique stamp.

It's fun to play the character and then watch him later.

It's absolutely true that it's almost impossible to play a character without having any affection for him.

When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.

I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character.

What happens if you're the guy who's been on the show ten years and is highly paid but they have nothing for you to do is that they bring in other people, and you become a supporting character to those people.

Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.
