You have to start from a place of trying to create a character.

Character is not created on the spot.

You have to find out how to become the character.

I don't believe you just create a character out of thin air, there's always something of yourself you bring.

I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

You don't become the character.

I always try to make each character my own.

Creating a character on or off the stage is an escape.

I never base characters on real people. There are people who do that but I really don't know how to do it.
