When you're writing fiction, you're in every character 'cause you can't help it.

I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.

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

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

Sometimes when you do a part, the wall between you and the characters can be very porous. You can sort of move in and out of your character's persona and being. And that just couldn't happen on this one because of working with him.

The characters I write about are very internal.

I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.

It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

There are bits of me in all my characters.
