I'm attracted to playing characters that have flaws.

I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.

I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me.

I like to play people who are underdogs and misfits. People who are not on a straight and narrow path. That's exciting for me.

It's fun for me to play people that are just kind of odd.

Sometimes I think it's easier to play someone who's very, very different from yourself. Besides, I wouldn't want to play people who are just like me; that would get awfully boring very fast!

Quiet people, people who aren't given to emotional outbursts, people who are economic with words - they're also fun to play, but you find yourself needing a laser precision in those roles. Otherwise you just sort of stand around, looking slightly brain-dead. You worry about being uninteresting.

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 like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.
