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:
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
