I try to just be the person I am, with a lot of sensitivity to the genre in which I'm playing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Whenever I play something, everybody just thinks that's who I am.
I just try to be the player I am.
I love to act and put on a show, but you're playing a character all the time. For music, it's really just me being myself.
There was a lot of pressure to find a genre and stick to it. People would tell me all the time, 'You can't be all things to everyone.' I would say, 'I'm not trying to be! I'm being what I want to be for myself.'
I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me.
I relate to most of the characters I play, because I do feel like an outsider.
So it's more the musician in me that makes me stretch out and try different things more than anything. But, like a lot of guitar players, I have one certain niche that's my thing that I'm better at than the others.
I don't really ever think in terms of what type of person I'd love to play. I usually just read stuff and can tell. It's always fun to get to do things that stretch you and that you don't get to do a lot, but you never know until you see it.
I don't pick my roles by genre; that's kind of silly.
