I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.

I find it quite easy to get in and out of character. I don't know why - I guess it's my job.

I like playing characters with internal problems.

I've learned through experience of playing different characters, some of whom were jerks, that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious, in any way, it's important to knock them down a peg.

You can't really judge characters, because that's when it gets really hard to play them.

In terms of the characters I think are really fun to play, a lot of times it's someone in my head saying 'I know that woman.'

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.

I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.
