I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn`t do them. And I don`t want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.

[Portraying a geek is] "Fun. I`m not the kind of guy kids picked on in school, but I`ve seen it happen. I`ve never really given much thought to being cool. I don`t really think about it one way or the other."
Logan Lerman
The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeles...

[on portraying famous people]: It`s a double-edged sword because, in one sense, you have a lot of material to work with, but in a strange kind of way, that puts up a framework that you have to keep within. You can`t play Beethoven with pink hair but, to a...

We maintain that we can do a better job of accurately portraying what`s going on in a courtroom if we can use the best tools available to us.

Walt Disney got away with portraying me in the light that they were portraying me in. I have always been a fighter, so... But I have no regrets, man. It`s just like God brought me through the drugs, I know he`ll bring me through this.

Waking Up Dead does a great job of portraying the irony of stardom`s illusive promise of money, fame and power only to have it boomerang back and cut so many artists to shreds.
David Ellefson
The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.
Isabelle Huppert
Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.

Kids like Tyler come around only once in a generation. I thank God every day for this little kid being on our show because some kids have it, some kids don`t. ... It`s not about being a little adult, it`s about being a kid and portraying a kid, and I thin...

It`s not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they`re not connecting with the characters they are portraying.

I`ve also worked hard portraying an Ireland which is fast disappearing. Ireland was a very depressed and difficult place in the 1980s, and I`ve tried to include that in the script. I worked really hard to find the heart of the book.

I find the subject of childhood fascinating. I explored this subject in Speak to me of love and I am curious about portraying the often painful transition into the adult world.
