I have to be entertained by what I'm writing, so a lot of my stuff has a goofiness or scatological quality. If these characters can entertain me, then I feel like I can deal with the darker or more serious stuff.

I don't really try to judge any character that I play, afterwards I figure it out, but while I'm working on the character, I have to find something in them to relate to.

If I'm practicing making up what the characters will do, it's never good. In fact, when I catch myself doing that, I try to get rid of that section, and try and let them start making the decisions.

I just want to challenge myself and play some different characters.

You rely on a lot of things about learning to play a particular character.

I played a lot of character parts in school.

I also try very hard to create characters - both heroes and villains - with psychological depth.

If you start with character, you probably will end up with good drawings.

The parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me. So I have to write them.

That's one of those things that will really hurt me personally, if I label a character or think about what it might do if it were to do well. I just try to do a good job with it.
