If I feel I can play a part I do everything in my power to try to play it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After you play a part, you think of it as your own.
It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.
It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
It's what I've always wanted to do and each part you play gets you closer and closer to the roles that you dreamed of playing.
Any part I do is a marriage of the words - what the playwright or producer or show runner's vision is - to how I would play it. It took me a while to get rid of 'Oh, they want it this way, so I'm going to do it how they want it.'
I say you play a part, you don't work one.
At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am.
I think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
