I always do a lot of work around characters to make them real people because, oftentimes, they really are a sliver of a person. Even with truly wonderful writers, women characters are there to emote, and they’re often incredibly chaste or worthy. Or they’re a ‘different type of woman’, which is the worst.
I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

I’m from the ’60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.
I love the true life stories and the biopics – people say I’m pigeonholed, but it’s a fantastic kind of pigeonhole – but it’s tough to then go and direct it because I know all the real people.
I like people that are real people. Real people are broad; they make mistakes.

Actors are seen as celebrities, but they’re just real people with families.
As with real reading, the ability to comprehend subtlety and complexity comes only with time and a lot of experience. If you don’t adequately acquire those skills, moving out into the real world of real people can actually become quite scary.

A work of fiction is conceived very much the same way as a dream occurs in the mind of a sleeper. But a lot of it is imagination. It’s not based on real people.
My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends – I can give them advice, but they don’t have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people.
