None of the characters I played was very close to me as a real person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.
I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.
I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.
I don't know if I've ever played a character who's close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other.
Real people are never central characters in my works.
Real-life people are often the hardest to play, people that you recreate who have actually lived, because you have to live up to people's knowledge of those characters.
I don't think there is a fictional character who resembles me because fictional characters are not real!
I'm not in the business of meddling with people's destinies - and yes, my characters are real people to me. They have histories and thoughts and yearnings and hurts and misgivings and pleasures that don't belong to me.
To me, my characters are more real than most people I meet.
