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?
