I should love to ordsprog

en I should love to do a novel... about one abnormal character seeing present-day life, very ordinary life, yet arresting through it, abnormality, until at the end the reader sees, and with little reluctance, that he is not abnormal at all, and that the main character might as well be himself.

en ABNORMAL, adj. Not conforming to standard. In matters of thought and conduct, to be independent is to be abnormal, to be abnormal is to be detested. Wherefore the lexicographer adviseth a striving toward the straiter [sic] resemblance of the Average Man than he hath to himself. Whoso attaineth thereto shall have peace, the prospect of death and the hope of Hell.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I was so brainwashed about how abnormal this was going to be with all the changes. It's not that abnormal. Even if the course is unbelievably tough, look at the beautiful trees and the flowers. It's a paradise.

en In terms of behavior, he was not acting abnormal, we thought how he was conducting his duties by not doing them was abnormal.

en What we had was abnormal. People get used to abnormal times and then when they're normal they think there's something wrong.

en I had a book, which was stolen, the art of the life of the character, in which you present a whole life in three of four pages. I used that method.

en It should all come from the main character's idea that life is beautiful anywhere. It doesn't have to be light with spotlights and blue lights and slow motion or whatever, life is great anyway.

en I am very abnormal... But it wasn't very long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.

en She needs a psychiatrist. Her narcissism and the need to feel important has caused a black hole in the character that can only be filled with abnormal human experience. It is clear that she thrives in the spotlight Oscar has generated from these horrible murders.

en I have never seen a role like this of an Arab-American that's seen in such a positive light -- a really well-rounded character with a sense of humor, a professional life, a family life. Not a goodie-goodie -- a person who has his flaws and his shortcomings -- but a real character, not a stereotype.

  Carl Gustav Jung

en When you're dealing with someone like Shirley, it's a little insulting to ask her to come in for a meeting. But I wanted to meet her first and talk to her about the character, because there was a very big 'if' on it for me. Shirley is such a powerful presence, personality and talent, and she has used that power effectively over a long and rich career. But I wanted to know she would be able to put a damper on all of that and go to a very quiet place to play this character who is literally hiding from life, who has put a lid on everything because of her guilt, her fear and her unresolved issues. If Shirley could go to that kind of a place, and then blossom as her character's life broadens, I thought it would be very exciting.

en I get into character and I tell them what my life is like as a pioneer woman. I never break character. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in.

en Ordinary people, even weak people, can do extraordinary things through temporary courage generated by a situation. But the person of character does not need the situation to generate his courage. It is a part of his being and a standard approach to all life's challenges. We’re all ethical in our own eyes. Although we are usually judged by our last worst act, we usually judge ourselves by our most noble deeds, our best intentions and our most virtuous traits. Character is not a fancy coat we put on for show, it’s who we really are.
