My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.

For me, one of the most beautiful and rewarding aspects of serial reality TV is that characters can move freely along a spectrum of heroism and villainy.

I like taking a character at the most intense moments of their lives and exploring all that in full and then moving on.

The characters are always the focal point of a book for me, whether I'm writing or reading. I may enjoy a book that has an intriguing mystery or a good plot, but to become one of my real favorites, it has to have great characters.

I like for there to be a moral, for the character to have gotten something out of the experience.

I love the simplicity of Kevin Spacey's work. He really does a subtle interpretation of every character, and that's kind of my style of acting when it comes to dramatic roles.

It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

The thing I respond to the most is just great writing, interesting characters. I like to think that there is something fun about playing a character that has a lot of authority in her own life.

What I truly get excited about is not the genre of a movie or the size of a part - it's character. I like to find characters.

I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.
