When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character.

Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose.

Getting in and out of a character takes its own time for me.

To disappear your complete self into a character is quite difficult. I've tried it 85 times, and I've succeeded two or three times.

You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.

You can escape into a character.

You'll always end up filling out a character. It might be with aspects of yourself.

If you can walk into a set and feel the reality of it, then immediately you're not having to work to bring yourself into the character.

It's hard to get lost in a scene, to get into a character when everyone's standing around you on the set.

Character is much easier kept than recovered.
