I want to continue to play characters that are not like me at all, and transform.

You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.

It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. That wouldn't be acting.

You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either.

I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.

You don't want to play a character you can't inhabit or commit to fully.

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

I play a character every day of my life, and I don't want to play a character as myself. They can judge me as an actress, not as a person. I'm not a spokeswoman for Anna.

I love to play any character that isn't close to my personality.
