"There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them"
- Salma Hayek
About this Quote
This quote by Salma Hayek talks to the power of storytelling and the ability of a character to become a part of our lives. It recommends that when we read a book or enjoy a movie, we can end up being so invested in the characters that we form a relationship with them. We can feel as if they are our friends, and we can understand their ideas and sensations. This quote also suggests that this connection is not constantly present, however when it is, it can be incredibly effective. It is a pointer of the power of storytelling and how it can bring us closer to characters that we may never have actually satisfied in reality. It is a testament to the power of the composed word and how it can develop a bond in between us and the characters we read about.
