He's [constable] a great painter as far as it goes, but i don't think he's remotely interesting. not really. it's very pretty and it's very thorough, but it's not evocative, it's not dramatic, it doesn't do what beethoven does - it doesn't shake you down to the roots of your soul, which turner does. constable is just very nice, basically. and moving on to personality, constable was a very dull character.

He's [constable] A Great Painter As Far

Peter was dull; he was at first dull; - oh, so dull - so very dull! whether he talked, wrote, or rehearsed - still with his dulness was he cursed - dull -beyond all conception - dull.
Stupid People Dull
I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
Beautiful Strong Order
There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

Prosecutors insist they are mounting a "thorough investigation," which sometimes means thorough and sometimes, historically, has meant long enough to let the fire burn down in an incendiary case. a thorough investigation is fine; an interminable one is disgraceful.
Mean Fire Justice
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.

People are expecting me to be a certain way all the time. it's not like if i come in here with a totally different personality and right before the camera starts they see this new character. it confuses everything. life has a consensus reality to it and if you use that to your advantage it makes it much easier.

When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool.
Character Play
When i was developing the [tv series "daredevil"] idea, we were really doing something closer to what was in the comic book. by that, i mean in terms of civilians in the street knew that superpowers were an everyday matter of fact. when it finally ended up at netflix, they really decided to land it in the marvel universe that exists in the cinematic universe. that changes the story entirely. it was no longer about the other, which is what that metaphor was. it's really more about the character herself, which i love.
Book Character Mean
With othello, shakespeare posed this problem of a black man in a white society in the role that he's playing. and shakespeare gave othello such dignity - he came not from - as he said - not from hate but from honor, from a sense of his own human dignity. and to me, to my mind, there could be no greater character played.
