Ray Fisher Quotes

The darker the character, the more interesting.

I think the most interesting characters are those in which you can see both sides.

The color of truth is gray.

'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two.

No one is all good or all bad, and there's many different ways to go about your life.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

Nobody is all good or bad.
