I'm first and foremost interested in the story, the characters.

I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.

I'd like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character.

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.

I find my characters and stories in many varied places; sometimes they pop out of newspaper articles, obscure historical texts, lively dinner party conversations and some even crawl out of the dusty remote recesses of my imagination.

I love novels where not much 'happens' but where the interest is in the ideas and analyses of characters.

I enjoy doing everything, comedy and drama. I just look for the characters really and what they offer.

I love good stories; you have to have a good plot - characters which intertwine with a good plot.

I always look for interesting, complex characters. You know, interesting, well-written material.

I'm not first and foremost interested in story and the what-happens, but I'm interested in who's telling it and how they're telling it and the effects of whatever happened on the characters and the people.
