When our spelling is perfect, it’s invisible. But when it’s flawed, it prompts strong negative associations.
Some of my favorite shows are ones where the characters are vile and human and flawed. That’s what makes me want to keep watching a show, not writers telling me how to feel about characters.
One of the things you learn as a journalist is that when there’s no accountability, we humans are capable of tremendous avarice and venality. That’s true of union bosses – and of corporate tycoons. Unions, even flawed ones, can provide checks and balances for flawed corporations.
My characters in my movies are all flawed. You’ll probably never see Tom Hanks in a Doug Liman film. He plays, you know, very earnest and unflawed.
For me, ‘The Social Network’ isn’t about Facebook. It certainly isn’t about how people use it. It’s about a flawed character and his pursuit of that grand idea that defines him and validates his life and how far he’ll go to get it, and the repercussions that come as a result of that – what he gives up in the process.
I wrote a song on the record called ‘Flawed Design’ and it’s basically looking at that, and it was just exploring how everybody obviously has flaws.

The more shaded, flawed characters that are struggling, I think there’s something very relatable about that.

I don’t use the word ‘renaissance’. It’s flawed because in Latin, it’s tied to the rebirth of Christ… It’s a word that’s tied to a European concept.
Well, there’s no question that the law passed in 1996 was flawed. It deregulated the wholesale market, meaning the price that the utilities had to pay energy companies for power, but not the retail market.
All my characters are quite relatable, as they are flawed, true, and honest. All of us are flawed; nobody is pure and pious.
I’m as flawed as the next person. But maybe I inspire women because I’m an example that you should never assume that where you are in life or what you’re doing is going to remain exactly as it is forever.
The idea that commodities, as an asset class, is finished is just fundamentally flawed.
I never came across a character who was brilliant, funny, flawed and just happened to have a disability. That’s why I’ve written ‘The Amazing Edie Eckhart.’

Flawed as they may be, science and the secular Enlightenment values expressed in Western democracies are our best hope for survival.
Han Solo is more interesting than Superman because he’s flawed. Superman’s flaw is kryptonite, and that’s it. He can make time go backwards, for God’s sake, but with Han Solo or Indiana Jones, there’s a bit of humanity there.
I find it difficult to direct myself in my films and so I avoid taking on any major roles in my films as I feel my judgement might be flawed.
As an audience member, I live vicariously through the characters I watch or read about. There’s something very relatable about comic-book characters. They’re never perfect. They’re flawed people put in extraordinary circumstances.

All creatures are flawed, but out of the flaw may come the universe.
Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.
The ACA’s reliance on mandatory participation in exchanges as the only way to obtain a health insurance subsidy is fundamentally flawed.
I love when actors can let go of where and how they have to do it, and just that we do it. That we are flawed and human, and don’t worry about how we look or who we are, or that it seems too old of a character if we’re still young.
We’re all normal, flawed people who have off-the-cuff thoughts.
I love to feature children and young adults as real people – flawed, naive, virtuous, venal – but real. I think it adds nuance and depth to the stories that wouldn’t exist without them.
Good tests kill flawed theories; we remain alive to guess again.
The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed.
I work very hard at creating complex characters, a mix of positives and negatives. They are all flawed. I believe flaws are almost universal, and they help us understand, sympathise and, paradoxically, feel closer to such characters.
I don’t want to put one innocent person to death to put 99 that are guilty to death. So philosophically I’m a tooth-for-tooth guy, but the reality is the death penalty as public policy is flawed.
Everybody is flawed, not just men.
I love flawed characters, male or female, and I only want to talk about flawed characters, really, in what I do.

Instead of trade policy that is beneficial to American businesses and workers as well as our trade partners, we have a flawed trade policy that hurts all parties.
I had two elder brothers and they would thrash me if I do something wrong, then dad would thrash me. I think corporal punishment as disciplining the child is what I am questioning… I feel there are less flawed methods.
The New Labour doctrine that skills training was the responsibility of employers was flawed. The idea that employers should take on a bigger role ignores the reality that employers have no incentive to train staff to leave. We can hardly expect Tesco to train checkout staff to become dental nurses.
Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That’s why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist.
The way we measure productivity is flawed. People checking their BlackBerry over dinner is not the measure of productivity.
Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in ‘Spider-Man’ is human and flawed.
It’s a very complicated relationship that I have with America. I love it so much. And I also see the places where it’s flawed.
‘Ten Days in the Valley’ has everything: It’s a thriller, it’s a taut, exciting love story, and it has the kind of character our audience loves – a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed.
I think it’s really important that we see women represented properly in TV, and that’s a multi-dimensional person: a real human being who’s flawed, who’s weird, who’s awesome.
I’ve been lucky enough to play lots of real women – flawed, strong, independent women – and I love it.
At the end of your twenties, you realize you are inherently flawed, and that’s great, and that’s what makes you dynamic.
There’s a remarkable amount of sexism on TV. When male characters are flawed, they’re interesting, deep and complex. But when female characters are flawed, they’re just a mess. It’s good to put more flawed but interesting female characters out there because it promotes equality.
We’re all flawed human beings trying to be a better person on a daily basis and I didn’t figure that out for a long, long time.
I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It’s more interesting.
The original Spencer Tracy version of ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ was always terribly flawed because of the over-reliance on voice over, but it’s still a beautiful movie.

I prefer to work at the policy level, on trying to fix flawed government policies.
I am fascinated, I suppose, by a flawed man with a streak of greatness.
It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your ‘portrayal’ of women. Even when I started out on ‘The Office’ eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, it’s completely different.
