Quotes:

I don't drink or smoke and I don't like smoky places. I once drank half a pint and I was drunk. When I'm drunk I tell stupid jokes about sex and it's really not me this other character comes out and I don't like him. I tried it for a while to get in with the lads but couldn't hack it.
View quotes by Benjamin Zephaniah

What I have in common with the character in ‘Truman’ is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

View quotes by Jim Carrey

I want people to say, 'Nicholas Brendon, he's supposedly the nicest guy in the world.' I want to do good work, but more than that, I want to stay a good human being. Thats more important than any character I play.
View quotes by Nicholas Brendon

Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day...
View quotes by Orison Swett Marden

To the indefinite, uncertain mind of the American radical the most contradictory ideas and methods are possible. The result is a sad chaos in the radical movement, a sort of intellectual hash, which has neither taste nor character.
View quotes by Emma Goldman

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
View quotes by Sam Ewig

Hard work spotlights the character of people - some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
View quotes by Sam Ewing

The propositions of philosophy are not factual, but linguistic in character - that is, they do not describe the behaviour of physical, or even mental, objects; they express definitions, or the formal consequences of definitions. [Ayer was a logical positivist]
View quotes by A J Ayer

Both matter and radiation possess a remarkable duality of character, as they sometimes exhibit the properties of waves, at other times those of particles. Now it is obvious that a thing cannot be a form of wave motion and composed of particles at the same time - the two concepts are too different
View quotes by Werner Heisenberg

Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.

View quotes by William James

He turns into a madman. His plan hasn't worked, and like a lot of people in that situation he blames everyone but himself. Deep down he knows that he's as much to blame as anyone for what has happened but Sally is the closest person to him and it is in his nature to blame her. He's a very selfish man. [About his character Greg Kelly in Coronation Street]
View quotes by Stephen Billington

I started doing some acoustic things. When my character was out at sea on a tanker, running his fleet, he'd just noodle around on his guitar. So I did an Eric Clapton song, and then I wrote a song to be used as a theme for a story line. That's how it started.
View quotes by Jack Wagner

Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.
View quotes by Henry Miller

This has been a very hard decision for me to make, because I'm so happy here on EastEnders, but it's been a long time without a proper break, and I just feel some time off would be good for me, and probably the character too. [on taking a break from Eastenders]
View quotes by Barbara Windsor

Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained.

View quotes by John Stuart Mill

Character is the product of daily, hourly actions, and words and thoughts; daily forgivenesses, unselfishness, kindnesses, sympathies, charities, sacrifices for the good of others, struggles against temptation, submissiveness under trial. Oh, it is these, like the blending colors in a picture or the blending notes of music which constitute the man.
View quotes by John MacDuff

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
View quotes by Billy Graham
