To me, there are things you're good at and things you're not so good at. For some reason, I'm good at darker characters. It has to do with how you look.

I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.

I'm drawn to dark characters, and to things that are really weighty.

I'm attracted to playing characters that have flaws.

In general, I am more interested in the darker characters when I watch or read stories.

People are much more complicated in real life, but my characters are as subtle and nuanced as I can make them. But if you say my characters are too black and white, you've missed the point. Villains are meant to be black-hearted in popular novels. If you say I have a grey-hearted villain, then I've failed.

I love to play characters who are stuffy and nerdy who either then have a dark side or are pushed to a breaking point.

I love flawed characters, male or female, and I only want to talk about flawed characters, really, in what I do.

I like characters who are contradictory.
