Sometimes when you're playing a very intense character, a disturbed character, you find other layers. That's much more interesting to me, rather than just playing 'intense.' I find it too boring.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.
If I'm in a room full of intense people, I'm pretty normal. If I'm in a room full of people who aren't, maybe I'm intense. I don't know, I don't think of it that way.
For me it's even more interesting, because my character comes out of the shadow. It's a chance to really act emotionally, because the situation is an extreme one.
Doing the same character over and over, it gets boring.
I feel things in quite an intense way. I'm not actually the most intense person.
I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.
It's always exciting to play characters who are obsessive because all their energy is so focused on that one thing and they're eccentric because of it.
Sometimes I can't get out of the character because the story is very intense.
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
