It seems to me that most characters, in anything, are flawed in some way, just like most people. You look for the good in the flawed people and vice versa, and then try and make them appealing in some way.

I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.

I'm attracted to playing characters that have flaws.

I tend to have a pattern of playing misunderstood characters.

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.

I work very hard at creating complex characters, a mix of positives and negatives. They are all flawed. I believe flaws are almost universal, and they help us understand, sympathise and, paradoxically, feel closer to such characters.

I love flawed characters, male or female, and I only want to talk about flawed characters, really, in what I do.

Whenever I have tried to make a character bad, they end up being good in some way.

There are good characters and bad characters.

I always look to play flawed characters. I'm not very interested in playing somebody that's just, you know, the very nice one or the attractive one, or whatever, which a lot of female parts can just be written that way.
