The more conflict and contrast you have with a character makes it more interesting.
I think the simpler it is when you have a crazy character to play is almost more creepy and interesting.
There is a comfort zone of knowing where things are going and having characters in place, but the action gets more and more dramatic and is very challenging to describe.
It's interesting to explore the darker side, but the hero piece is interesting as well. It's like choosing between comedy or drama. I like to do both.
I think conflicted characters are always more interesting.
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
I like taking a character at the most intense moments of their lives and exploring all that in full and then moving on.
A lot of the characters I end up playing have a certain degree of glamour or sexiness, but I like it when you can have some other element that makes it much more interesting.
Sometimes it's less about the character and more about the story for me. I'll play a rock in the background if I think the story is fantastic and I can be a part of it somehow. That's what I look for.
It's the emotional trigger points that are important to me because I know if I could believe in the characters and try and imagine how they felt then I'd be able to do something quite honest.
