Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
It's really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I'm every character.
You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does.
To me, any character that is conflicted inside as well as outside of themselves is always a better role to play.
I don't play a character. It's totally just an extension of myself.
None of the characters I played was very close to me as a real person.
The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.
I never act my characters - I am them.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
You have to play your characters, not like them.
