I find more of an authenticity in people who are a little strange - so I really like characters who are just the tiniest bit weird. I find enormous comfort in that - someone who's kind of normal just doesn't feel as true.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

Everyone loves characters that are relatable or who have unique quirks or tragic flaws.

I like characters that make me feel challenged and sort of inspired.

Characters with no integrity are just as interesting as characters with lots of integrity.

I like characters who are contradictory.

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.

The more secrets and twists in a character, the better.

You know, we have to take these characters - who, granted, have their separate personalities but, on a lot of levels, are pretty two-dimensional - and make them into people with flaws, with insecurities.

I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs.
