[first lines] Phil: Somebody asked me today, "Phil, if you could be anywhere in the world, where would you like to be?" And I said to him, "Prob'ly right here - Elko, Nevada, our nation's high at 79 today." Out in California, they're gonna have some ...

Only then, when no situation or character is obviously good or evil, is it truly interesting to act.
People are your responsibility and character is the hidden powers that cause the miracle people
The most important criterion is this: hire someone whose character and humility and attitude you would like to have reproduced in your church and in yourself.
I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff.
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.
My view of an excellent novel was probably set in the golden age of fiction in the 19th century: narrative, character and voice are of equal importance.
Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.
I'm just a pack mule. I've played leads and I've played character roles. Any actress in Hollywood will tell you as your age climbs, the leads thin.
You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.
I think every major character I've played was originally for an older woman. I have no idea what that says. I guess I'm mature for my age.
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.
In the old days, I just could not leave characters alone. Now I just try to keep the ones that still have something in the way of stories to tell.
I did one of the 'Amazing Stories.' That was the first time I got to play a character who was a dumb blonde. I actually channeled Judy Holliday.
You know what I like? I like classic stuff. I like 'The Andy Griffith Show' - the variety of characters was so amazing to me.
Having a sweet, wide-eyed, awkward character is more charming and allows for more range. If you come from anger, you're going to reach a ceiling very quickly.
In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.
