I love escaping into character. It's a chance to try on people that you wouldn't be brave or stupid enough to be in real life.

You can escape into a character.
I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.
Yeah, it's fun to be somebody you're not, to bring a character to life.
I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.
I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.
I find it quite easy to get in and out of character. I don't know why - I guess it's my job.
I just love to act. I like to get away, totally play a different character, someone you can get really involved in knowing. I've gotten really involved in some characters and written down little summaries of where they live and what their families are like.
I think we take for granted police officers and detectives that walk into some pretty heinous situations, and they really have to be very brave. So I love playing a character that's very brave - someone that kind of dives in the fire to figure out what's happened.
I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
We all want to escape our circumstances, don't we? Especially if you are an actor.
