I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

After I play every character, I always walk away and feel a little different. I've experienced something that's not my life, but I've made it my life.

A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can't balk at work like that. As an actor, that's as good as it gets.

You know, I have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.

I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can't help myself.

I like characters with problems. I like to understand them... To play alcoholics, fetishists, strange girls, you have to dig deep within yourself. It's 'elsewhere' that interests me.

I like playing characters with internal problems.

Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

If I took my characters home with me, half of my life would be a misery, I think. No, I tend to compartmentalize work from my life. I'm not terribly method.

I tend to play more true-to-life characters in real situations.
