During my career I've enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea of exploring character relations and their development over a decade has to be appealing for any actor who cherishes his craft.
I love working fictional characters into a piece of history. It plays to my strengths, which are characterization and dialogue, and assists me in my admitted weakness, plot.
The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.
I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures.
There's a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters.
I don't have a favorite genre. I love to work and live vicariously through every character. It's all about trying to bring the character to life and get the story across in a way that resonates with the audience. It's always interesting and challenging in a gratifying and unique way.
As an actress, I think it's important to look back and realize that we aren't always quite as original as we think we are. There's this grand, textured history for us over the last 100 years of incredible writers, directors, and performers.
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
What's always intriguing to me is transforming my subjects into a character from another era.
