The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with time, re-interpreting them for each new age.

I don't know if it's that the scripts are evolving or just that I'm getting older, but the characters become more interesting as you get older because you've lived more life at different stages. You've loved; you've lost; you have more of that journey.

You see, at 25, I was very new to my craft. I was raw as an actor; my exposure was limited... No matter what field you are in, experience adds to your personality.

People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.

The more intelligent the storytelling becomes and the deeper the character development, people will realize in film and television, like they do in real life, that human beings possess both good and bad.

Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.

Twenty-two is just such a random age. It's a little blah.

My audience has lots of people between 20 and 35, but there are always a few 60-year-olds, and it makes me happier than if everyone was 22.

All of my main characters have been under 30.

There are characters that become more popular as we fall in love with them.
