It's important for me to see as many colors in the character as possible.

I use colors to bring fine points of story and character.

The script is the coloring book that you're given, and your job is to figure out how to color it in. And also when and where to color outside the lines.

A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character.

Outside books, we avoid colorful characters.

There are infinite shades of grey. Writing often appears so black and white.

Most authors would love to see their characters made for the screen, especially one that's quite colourful.

My characters have undergone the same process of simplification as the colors. Now that they have been simplified, they appear more human and alive than if they had been represented in all their details.

I feel character description from a book can mislead you and actually make you fall off course when you're representing a character using a script.

Because I'm a synesthete I see characters in colors and I perceive a W as green.
