I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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'.
I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.
None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. That wouldn't be acting.
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
I relate to most of the characters I play, because I do feel like an outsider.
I never act my characters - I am them.
I think that playing characters far away from who I am as a person is a lot more fun and a lot more exciting, and you can play with it a lot more because it's not you and it's so far from you, so that's very liberating as far as that goes.
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
If I played characters who were like me, I'd be super bored.
I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.
