I'm a magpie in my fiction, taking whatever looks shiny and curious to line the nest of my story.

I like sparkles; I think I'm a magpie.

I'm a real magpie when it comes to music; it's all random, and there's no pattern to what I like.

I always try to make each character my own.

Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.

There is a little bit of me in every part I do... I'm not really good enough to completely construct an all-new character.

What are the aspects of yourself that line up with the character? You magnify those, and the ones that don't match up you kind of kick to the curb.

I like to take a character and develop it.

I like to build a character, trying to stretch my imagination as far to the walls of my brain as I can to come up with something that feels truthful and feels real - as close to the skin as I can get it.

The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I've invented to make her even more interesting than me.
