For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.

Anytime you have an opportunity as an actor to really grow along with your character, I think that's a real gift.

I think it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it.

To know how a character will behave in any given situation is a necessity and a gift.

Well, you know, what's better? To play a character who stays stuck in the same baggage year after year, or to play a character who gets beyond that and goes to a new level?

The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with time, re-interpreting them for each new age.

Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I'm happy.

It's really important to stay engaged and involved in the character.

I don't think I could last in anything for 10 years doing a character.

I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
