Character Quotes by Richard Shepard

Richard Shepard

For me, when I see movies where I kind of know who the characters are and what the situation is, I get bored. To me, it’s, “How do I tell a story that will keep the audience engaged?” A great story does that: it’s not exactly what you expect.

I think people are a mixture of everything. I like desperate characters because they do things that most of us normally wouldn’t do. If a character is a scoundrel or a liar you think you know them, but then I can bring some emotion to them and they become much fuller than you ever imagined. So what I try to do is have a story where you don’t quite know where it’s going, and characters who you don’t quite know where they’re going.

I’m not making a movie about the real people. I’m making a movie about what they did, and what happened to them. But I will create characters so that I can have the freedom to make them say and do what I want. The real-life journalists were fine with that.
