When a role seems fun it's easy to play. It kind of comes organically.

Every role that I play is a gift and is something that I approach differently.

I've never actually participated in role-playing games myself, except on one occasion when a coworker of mine came to my house and introduced my two brothers and me to a single game of 'Dungeons & Dragons.'

If there aren't roles you want to play, then you've kind of got to create them.

I play a huge variety of roles.

The best role is something that's challenging. Fun is great, but when it's challenging, you get to overcome barriers, and when you see the finished product, it's very rewarding.

I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.

For me, playing is about playing with other people.

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.

In classrooms full of students who range from brilliant to sullen disaffection, it's games - and often games alone - that I've seen engage every single person in the room. For some, the right kind of play can spell the difference between becoming part of something, and the lifelong feeling that they're not meant to take part.
