I try to have a true line in every character I play.

You really have to take your time; you have to know your character and your scene. The line you are about to say comes from the moment right before. It's not what's said, it's what is in between the spaces, it's what's in between the lines; that is the most important to play.

When I take on a role, all I tend to do is get to know the script and ask millions of questions, and keep fine tuning what I think the character is trying to say.

I just hope that I continue to keep a line between my private life and who I play, even if they are closely intertwined, and so I'm careful. I don't even know where my line is, but I know I have a line.

I bring so much of myself to each character that there's always a worrying point when I think: 'Oh no, I'm really that person.'

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I love playing characters, so I'm always telling my agents, 'Don't worry if the character description is something you think I'm not. Let me try to be that person.'

I'm always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. That's how I roll.

I like to think I put some of myself in every character.
