I love playing characters who are opposite of who I am.

With any character I play, I gravitate to the juxtaposition and humor.

Often I choose characters who express not my best self, but the sides of me I haven't developed or haven't expressed.

I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.

I love to play any character that isn't close to my personality.

I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.

I enjoy being characters rather than myself.

Sometimes I write from the point of view of characters whom I would dislike as people, not as a perverse exercise, but because this cracks the story open and makes me see it in a way I would not see it naturally.

I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
