When I sit down to talk to men's magazines, there's a certain character that I play. She's not fully fleshed out - she doesn't have her own name - but she shows up to do men's-magazine interviews.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the most interesting female characters I've written about was Meg Riddoch, the lead character in 'The Thompson Gunner'.
I play a character every day of my life, and I don't want to play a character as myself. They can judge me as an actress, not as a person. I'm not a spokeswoman for Anna.
It's interesting to play a female character who's not ever using feminine wiles to get things done.
I write characters. Some of those characters are women.
The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I've invented to make her even more interesting than me.
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.
I am not somebody who meets a man or a woman somewhere and feels like that is an incredible character that I must write into a play.
This character's entirely invented, and the woman that I interviewed wouldn't recognize herself, or really anything about herself, in this book, which she hasn't read, because she doesn't read English.
