My theory of characterization is basically this: Put some dirt on a hero and put some sunshine on the villain one brush stroke of beauty on the villain.

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film he falls deeper in love with his wife so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement but it also has heart and soul.

Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress and I still do.

Strength of character may be learned at work but beauty of character is learned at home.

I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune while character comes from within.

I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge I also see the beauty of human life.

A person however learned and qualified in his life's work in whom gratitude is absent is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant.

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct a standard of courage discipline fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.

Beauty has a lot to do with character.

I came on to the film with a very happy-go-lucky attitude which I think my character Charlie did when she went into the house. I expected it to be good and then slowly things started to change for us all.

As I wrote I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older soft-spoken and she started showing some attitude.

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.

The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief but of despair.

The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them with others.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness for speech is itself a critique of life: it names it characterizes it passes judgment in that it creates.

I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.

In the first book of my Discworld series published more than 26 years ago I introduced Death as a character there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.

Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.

In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.

Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately it can propel people toward social emancipation.
