There's such an emphasis on having a character be likable. I don't think it would be helpful if I worried about that. I mean, not everyone's likable.

I don't worry about whether a character is likable, as long as the character is believable.

If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job.

When you're playing a character, I think it's always better not to judge that character.

People seem to need a likable protagonist more than ever.

The important thing for me when I look at characters is to consider the kind of constraints placed upon them. Now, me personally, I don't like to have a lot of constraints placed upon me.

I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.

Character is one of most precious parts of you. You can't get involved in things that will damage your character.

If I prepare myself for a character, for a role, I always try to understand her.
