I think successful movies that are based on books are their own thing. I think if you're too faithful, word by word, character trait to character trait, it can hurt the movie.
If the character is really well-rounded, and it's a really strong character, and if the writing is just fantastic, that's the thing that will hook me in, certainly.
Actors look for characters. If they read a well-written character, and if they think the director's not an idiot, they're going to sign up and do some acting.
I'm a character actor - always have been, always will be - and historically, character actors don't come into their own until later in their professional and chronological lives.

First of all, the actor needs to get out of the character's way. You follow the character without judgment or prejudice or preconceived ideas.
What I truly get excited about is not the genre of a movie or the size of a part - it's character. I like to find characters.
I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play.
The interesting thing about my character Sylar is that my strengths as an actor seemed to go completely against the shape of a character in the shadow.
But the truth doesn't need to be known, or believed, to be true.
No denial of the truth will ever invalidate it.
...true love is my religion...
The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Dreams don't come true, they are true.
Perhaps true faith is a form of insanity.
True love doesn't demand..It only loves.
Man gjemmer ting og så begynner det å lukte.
True love cannot be a fragile flower.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.
