But my main thing that I would love to see as a fan of 'Glee ' like I said is to really get into the character and who they are and what they do outside of school. I think that that's interesting. And then of course the themed stuff and the album episodes are all really cool too.

Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say and channel that through your character.

I would like to do a musical if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.

That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years. I have not agreed with his every decision but never once have I seen him break his cool lose his composure or abandon his insightful perspective - even during the most serious and/or absurd national disasters.

I'm a video game fan and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.

I'm a geeky toy collector and to have toys of your own characters is unbelievably cool.

If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.

We know that communication must be hampered and its form largely determined by the unconscious but inevitable influence of a transmitting mechanism whether that be of a merely mechanical or of a physiological character.

Just as characteristic perhaps is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post telegraph telephone and popular press.

A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet we all know that life experiences do change us.

When characters change on screen it makes you feel better about yourself. You think 'Oh I change too I'm constantly becoming a better person.'

You have to come in and be that character when you walk into the room. That's what one of my first acting teachers taught me. You know don't go in there being Jennifer and then expect to flip and change because they're not going to have that imagination.

I like to change characters and then slowly I believe the audience treat me as like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.

We have the character of an island nation: independent forthright passionate in defence of our sovereignty. We can no more change this British sensibility than we can drain the English Channel. And because of this sensibility we come to the European Union with a frame of mind that is more practical than emotional.

The low points I had all helped make up my character so I probably wouldn't want to do away with them because I like being flawed and I like having them help me grow and change and become better and stronger.

Habits change into character.

Strong characters are brought out by change of situation and gentle ones by permanence.

My play Safe Sex was picked apart because critics thought it was untrue. It was a play in which no one had AIDS but the characters talked about how it was going to change their lives.

Characters do not change. Opinions alter but characters are only developed.

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character would you slow down? Or speed up?

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
