I don't really try to judge any character that I play, afterwards I figure it out, but while I'm working on the character, I have to find something in them to relate to.

For mine, the villains of the piece were always important. In a traditional sense, that's always an important role.

What is more important is finding the soul of the character, and making sure it fits well into this story. And that it be dramatic and interesting and captivating, because these people weren't entertainers, you know.

For every character, I think about who they are, their story, what they are, and who they were before their game started. What was their life like? Where did they grow up? What were their parents like?

Since I was there in the very beginning, I know the history of the characters. So, I make comments about the tone and sometimes remind the writers that we've done that before.

I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.

It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

Character and story are suggested by the voice in the words themselves.

I find it an easy way into writing pieces is to think what the character's voice is like, and start from there.

I wanted to give readers the feeling of knowing the characters, a mental image.
