If I feel I can play a part I do everything in my power to try to play it.

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.

When I'm creating a character, I don't see it so much as playing someone else as just playing a specific part of myself under certain circumstances.

I'm essentially the result of other people's imagination. And that's fine. Because of other people's imagination, I've played parts I would never have thought I could do. Still, I've never had a hankering or an ambition for any particular role.

There's a chunk of myself in every part I play.

When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.

I think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.

I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.

Any part I do is a marriage of the words - what the playwright or producer or show runner's vision is - to how I would play it. It took me a while to get rid of 'Oh, they want it this way, so I'm going to do it how they want it.'

It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
