I like characters that make me feel challenged and sort of inspired.

I find that it's really important for me to imagine characters and situations. That allows me a lot of freedom.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

I guess I'm just good at playing repressed individuals. I'm lucky because those are often the roles that catch people's eyes.

I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.

I think that I've always been attracted to characters who are positive and come from a very innocent place. I think there's a lot of room for discovery in these characters, and that's something I always have fun playing.

I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.

I do not choose characters because I think, 'Wow, that woman is so strong.' I chose these characters with utmost conviction because I think they were realistic enough to exist, and I really liked the scripts.
