I think those who object to my characterizing man as simple want somehow to retain a deep mystery at his core.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.
The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.
Everyone is complicated one way or another. But it's interesting to dig into a complicated character, to try to find that within yourself.
He felt like the invisible boy. When he got to be part of the mystery Men he felt like he had a purpose.
All of us want something in life, all of us have flaws, and all of us have strengths. So, I always try to discover those things in a character and then try to expose it in one way or another.
Men are not supposed to be mysterious. That's what you say about women. But I think men can have a little of it, too.
To me, the psychology behind the character is critical. So I work very hard to get into the mind of the man that I'm going to be playing, because number one, I want to understand why he's doing what he's doing. It's essential, it's absolutely essential.
A strong sense of identity gives man an idea he can do no wrong; too little accomplishes the same.
When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
