“Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.” PeopleMayCharacterStoriesSeemsAbleActionInterestingAudiencePersonalityTheatreRingsAnimationInteresting ThingsUnreal Author:Walt Disney
“The story man must see clearly in his own mind how every piece of business will be put over. He should feel every expression, every reaction. He get far enough from his story to take a second look at it... to see whether there is any dead phase... to see whether the personalities are going to be interesting and appealing to the audience. He should also try to see that the things that his characters are doing are of an interesting nature.” MenFeelsShouldTryingMindLooksEnoughCharacterStoriesInterestingAudiencePiecesDesignExpressionPersonalityDevelopmentReactionsPhases Author:Walt Disney
“Painting can also be too earnest at times and that's a drag. You don't want to go in that direction either. It should be holistic.

“If the United States haven't grown poets, on any scale of grandeur, it is certain that they import, print, and read more poetry than any equal number of people elsewhere -- probably more than the rest of the world combined.

“I always try to bring a little bit of my own personality to the character, or some sort of personal connection makes it a little bit more of an organic portrayal and the audience can kind of maybe believe it a little bit more.

“It is the task of the scenarist to invent little pieces of business that are so characteristic and give so deep an insight into his creatures, that their personalities clearly and organically unfold before the eyes of the audience so that the latter feel that the actions of these people are contingent upon their characters, that there exists some kind of a logical fate, and that nothing is left to mere accident or coincidence.” PeopleGivingFeelsKindLittlesCharacterEyeActionLeftAudiencePiecesFatePersonalityCreaturesTasksMereInsightAccidentsCharacteristicsLatterLogicalCoincidence Author:Ernst Lubitsch
