I know that some people work differently, but I have to work from the inside out. It doesn't matter how big the character is, there has to be a truthful core.

Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down within incredible swiftness.

I love getting into physical shape for a film; it makes me feel more like what the character needs to be.

I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.

I also try very hard to create characters - both heroes and villains - with psychological depth.

The characters I write about are very internal.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

I like to build a character, trying to stretch my imagination as far to the walls of my brain as I can to come up with something that feels truthful and feels real - as close to the skin as I can get it.

It's a wonderful thing to have a character with tons of attributes.

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.
