You have to understand the tone of the movie because if it's supposed to be funny it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff but you have to really understand the tone of what you're doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment or it will run to weeds.

I would point out that I'm an actress for a reason! If I were popular in high school I would have considered another career because I wouldn't have been alone in my room making up other characters for myself. I definitely had growing pains. The popular kids didn't want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.

It may however be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character for concepts alone are capable of being socialized.

It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.

I had a very happy childhood but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.

I like video games but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey man what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head like 27 times!'

You can fake your age or mask it but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.

Age should not have its face lifted but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.

At a young age I was interested in comic books which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.

Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure.

In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it and given a family character as it were to the century.

'Dallas' hit a chord back in the late Seventies and Eighties because it was the age of greed: here you have this unapologetic character who is mean and nasty and ruthless and does it all with an evil grin. I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics such as sex eye color age and Social Security number.

As technology advances it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'

It is well for the world that in most of us by the age of thirty the character has set like plaster and will never soften again.

Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems in my opinion to characterize our age.
