I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.

I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.

I'd like to play nothing but good characters.

I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.

I wouldn't like to be a character in one of my books!

There is always going to be a little bit of me in each character.

None of the characters I played was very close to me as a real person.

Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
