In every character that you play... I mean, I don't think I'll ever be the type of actor or performer per se who transforms, you know? Like Claire Danes transforms into Temple Grandin - I'm not gonna do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some of the great characters that I've played had to be transformational.
I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
What I find most interesting about acting is transforming myself.
As an actor, you don't want to play a one-dimensional character.
Usually I'm frustrated when I look at my films and I don't believe that I've made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it's me, that I didn't create a unique character.
The idea of transformation - playing something I'm not - is the bit I enjoy most about acting.
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
I want to continue to play characters that are not like me at all, and transform.
