I think i was probably able to flip characters in my head as if i was playing different roles in order to write the different people because you kind of have to be one person, and inhabit him and write from his voice and be her and write her voice. so i think that helped.

Writing Character Thinking

More From Angelina Jolie

The great thing about acting is, because you're constantly playing other characters and exploring yourself because you have to find those other characters in yourself, you sort of broaden as a person over your life because you've been other people. so you can empathize with many different sorts of people. it's great in that way and i hope, therefore, as you get older as an actor, you not only get more interesting because you lived more, but you get a bit wiser as a person.

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

I've always wanted to do all kinds of roles, dramatic roles and comedic roles, all kinds of roles.
Roles Kind Dramatic
You have to write a book because you believe it has helped you, because you believe it has helped others personally and you are dying to share with it others because you know it will add value to their lives. you write it for them like a gift. you don't want anything from them. you don't want them to do anything for you. you don't even care if they all share the book with their friends, they don't all have to buy them. you're just dying to share this idea with people. your challenge is to write it in a way that is compelling, enjoyable to read so that they will get the idea.
Believe Book Writing
I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.
Christian Believe Thinking
In a sense, all actors are character actors, because we're all playing different characters. but a lot of the time - and i don't know, because i'm not a writer - but writers a lot of times write second- and third-tier characters better than they write primary characters. i guess they're more fun.
