To me, any character that is conflicted inside as well as outside of themselves is always a better role to play.

Inner conflict is really fun to play because there's a lot going on, and the choices - when you've got a character with internal conflict - the choices you make have broader ramifications because they have inner ramifications and ramifications in the world.

Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

I like playing characters with internal problems.

I think that internal conflict works very well, because, after all, all the best drama is fuelled by conflict.

I think conflicted characters are always more interesting.

Clearly, I'm drawn to characters with inner conflicts.

I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.

I am in love with all the characters I have played. And it is impossible to choose the best.

The characters I write about are very internal.
