Character Background
"It is a very, very good job, but it takes a lot of work, and it takes responsibility. You are responsible to the audience for who you’re playing. You’re responsible to your writers and your producer for the character, and you are extremely responsible to your fellow actors. There are people who don’t realize that."

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or background:
“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
