A painter paints the appearance of things, not their objective correctness, in fact he creates new appearances of things.

I definitely have character arcs in mind for each character unless I kill them.

I have things planned for every character like what they're doing down the road and coming to different realizations but I don't have how they overlap.

The way I approach the character isn't about being gay or straight. It's just about who you love. Gender has very little to do with it.

Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end.

Anonymous sources are a practice of American journalism in the 20th and 21st century, a relatively recent practice. The literary tradition of anonymity goes back to the Bible.

For me, each nuance of a color is in some way an individual, a being who is not only from the same race as the base color, but who definitely possesses a distinct character and personal soul.

By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character.

The fact that I have such a problem that people... that that has to, you know, be on people's mind, what my personal background is. To me, to be very frank with you, is a totally irrelevant thing.

I just let the character speak to me and things appear.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin' to assassinate my character, that's impossible. You talkin' about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.

Prison make you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.

We began to do little things, have little scenes where we just talked about things that had nothing to do with the plot. In fact, in the beginning, they didn't want us to do that. But as time went on, you see that in so many shows. I think we were the first to do that.

Practice without improvement is meaningless.

In fact what I would like to see is thousands of computer scientists let loose to do whatever they want. That's what really advances the field.

I love the fact that we, as black people, carry our faith with us. We share it and embrace it and love it and talk about it because we talk about everything else and why not that and that was the first impression that I had that really touched me.

I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play.
