I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you'll get characters that aren't very identifiable. Sometimes you can't relate to your character at all. I think it's important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I've gotten is to live in the moment.
I like my male characters as much my female characters, but I always seem to have less for them to say.
Sometimes, I think I may be more recognizable because I'm character-looking.
I've always felt that almost every part I've played has been a character part. I mean, I look at it that way. I can't help how I look or how I seem to people.
When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other. I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.
I'm drawn to female characters; not all of them are strong characters.
I love the idea that somebody is going to compare me to my character or think that I am like my character when they see me. I feel like that is a role that I am willing to fulfill.
I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.
I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.
I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.
