I care about all the characters I play, and I get quite defensive about them.

I bring so much of myself to each character that there's always a worrying point when I think: 'Oh no, I'm really that person.'

In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.

Why the hell do we make such a big deal out of things that shouldn't be a big deal?

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.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

I'm about my characters.
