They may turn out to be a great disappointment, or perhaps they may be full of enchanting surprises.

I hope the wonder of what happens to my characters never goes away. That yearning keeps me writing.

I'm hopefully making the reader feel a lot about the characters and then about their own life.

I hope to land roles where my presence is carried on throughout the film. I'm looking forward to taking on a role with a complicated backstory and yet someone who refuses to lose sight of hope. I know that it will happen someday.

I'm always a bit disappointed when I've finished working on a book.

I give everything to my work, and I like complex roles, characters that aren't obvious. I've been very lucky so far, and I'm dreaming of working with directors like Jane Campion, Susanne Bier and the Dardennes. But the gods will decide.

As an author you hope your characters have sparks but truly in the end they have minds of their own!

If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.

I suppose all fictional characters, especially in adventure or heroic fiction, at the end of the day are our dreams about ourselves. And sometimes they can be really revealing.
