I've made a career writing about fictitious anti-heroes. To create these worlds, I've spent a lot of time with active members on both sides of the law. And if I had to pick the most interesting of the two, the choice is obvious - we all love the guys in black.

American Director

Nick Earls

Having to think so much about fictitious relationships that work or don't work, and with each relationship between characters managing to do one or other of those in its own peculiar way, I spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, real and imagined.

Australian Novelist

George Saintsbury

The transition state of manners and language cannot be too often insisted upon: for this affected the process at both ends, giving the artist in fictitious life an uncertain model to copy and unstable materials to work in.

English Writer

Jim McKay

But what I did think would be interesting is if we created a fictitious story of our own, and then took these stories that we had collected and assigned them to characters who would be played by actors.

American Journalist

James D'arcy

Although this is a fictitious story the history is real. You don't want to re-write history but you certainly want to portray events and characters as realistically as you can.

English Actor

Jacque Fresco

Whatever happens in the world is real, what one thinks should have happened is projection. We suffer more from our fictitious illusion and expectations of reality.

American Inventor

Leonardo DiCaprio

I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe mankind has looked at climate change in the same way, as if it were a fiction.

American Actor

John Banville

With the crime novels, it's delightful to have protagonists I can revisit in book after book. It's like having a fictitious family.

Irish Novelist

Jeff Nichols

My characters aren't chess pieces. I don't move them around some big board. I actually care about these fictitious people.
