Quote

I always say that I'm at my best when there's no example of what the character is supposed to be. I thrive when there's not much and I have to create it.

I think I've been good at getting into lonely and troubled characters because, not to brag, but I'm the complete opposite in real life.

I think every writer will tell you that their characters are always partially themselves: who I am and what I've experienced. It's always there in part of my characters.

It's how I express myself - through storytelling and characters. They often reveal very intimate, vulnerable sides of myself.

I work very hard at creating complex characters, a mix of positives and negatives. They are all flawed. I believe flaws are almost universal, and they help us understand, sympathise and, paradoxically, feel closer to such characters.

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

I always gravitate towards characters that are so opposite of me.
