Quote

A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.

As a viewer, I care about people, I care about characters, I care about perspective.

It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.

I'll see a photograph of a character and try to copy them on to my face. I think I'm really observant, and thinking how a person is put together, seeing them on the street and noticing subtle things about them that make them who they are.

To me, characters are at the heart of great literature.

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.'

You live vicariously through your characters.

It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.
