Brian Aldiss:
"
One afternoon in early January, the weather showed a lack of character. There was no frost nor wind: the trees in the garden did not stir.

Ernest Hemingway:
"
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.

"
The best part of the fiction in many novels is the notice that the characters are purely imaginary.

Luigi Pirandello:
"
When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.

William S Burroughs:
"
I think all novelists particularly are engaged in the creation of Tulpas. That is exactly what they are doing. Ahh... they are trying to create characters that have an existence apart from the novel, apart from the page.

P G Wodehouse:
"
A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained ‘all the old Wodehouse characters under different names’. He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy. (From preface)

Shigeru Miyamoto:
"
Games are a trigger for adults to again become primative, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.

Richard Dawkins:
"
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death. I can work out a good character much faster than anyone can lie me out of it
