Character Antoine Doinel

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or antoine:

“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

“And then I met a woman—now comes the funny
part—
With eyes that petrified my brain, and sunk into my heart.”
—Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
