I'm a nice middle-class girl in real life, and I'm a mom and a grandma, and I usually play sweet characters.

I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.

I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships.

I understand the common man because I understand me in that regard at least.

I am not as confident as the characters I play. I am a bit aloof. I am uncomfortable in social situations.

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.

I just always want to play people. I don't want it to be necessarily that you relate to the character as female or male, but that you relate to them as a person. That's the driving force.

I tend to be the type who is overly polite and sort of ingratiating to other people.
