I still do miss the freedom to play any kind of character I wanted to play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.
I love the characters I've had the opportunity to play.
I never really thought about what characters I play. I always just wanted different characters.
You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does.
I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it.
When I started off many years ago, I made a determination that there were certain roles I didn't want to play.
I don't play a character. It's totally just an extension of myself.
Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose.
You don't want to play a character you can't inhabit or commit to fully.
I find that it's really important for me to imagine characters and situations. That allows me a lot of freedom.
