Concept and Creation
Burn Notice creator Matt Nix said in a late 2010 interview
I'd known a guy named Michael Wilson for a long time, who is a consultant on the show and has a background in private intelligence. There are aspects of Michael Weston that are inspired, but he's also a combination of many influences. There are certainly aspects of Michael's character inspired by that, but other aspects that are drawn from other sources or from my head or heads of other writers. Or indeed, from Michael Wilson's head. The character's not meant to be him.Read more about this topic: Michael Westen
Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or creation:
“Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn’t like jam if it didn’t, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn’t like truth if it wasn’t sticky, if, from time to time, it didn’t ooze blood.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Today, each artist must undertake to invent himself, a lifelong act of creation that constitutes the essential content of the artist’s work. The meaning of art in our time flows from this function of self-creation. Art is the laboratory for making new men.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
