I think that's what makes characters interesting - when you paint a person into a corner, and you see what they do to get out of that corner. It's what makes drama drama.

Characters can be mysterious and you're not really sure which way they might turn at a given point.

As a viewer, I care about people, I care about characters, I care about perspective.

I try genuinely, when I'm playing a character, to not judge them and just to inhabit someone as how one sees them. That being said, you also want to make sure that you don't blur the edges of people too much because humans are naughty and complicated beings.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

So I work hard to present the human side of my characters while not neglecting the plot.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking.

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
