I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So the characters that I choose, I like to make sure that they have depth and that they have some sort of bite. It's more fun.
The funny thing is that I feel close to all my characters. Deep, deep inside them all.
I like situations that push a character to the edge.
That's the novelist's job: to peel back the layers and look underneath.
As a writer, I always peel back the layers, go to the most sensitive places uncomfortably close to the heart.
I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best.
I like playing characters who are out there on the edge, where they can explode at any moment or fall off the precipice.
I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.
I like playing characters that have a prickly armor because when you start to see the cracks and some heart come out, it gives the audience something to look forward to.
Sometimes when you're playing a very intense character, a disturbed character, you find other layers. That's much more interesting to me, rather than just playing 'intense.' I find it too boring.
