I like to think I put some of myself in every character.

For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.

I always talk about my characters like they're real people.

I take my time to get into the mindset of the character and say my lines. I really have to be the person that I am playing.

You're always concerned for your character. You should be.

I am, as a character, at times, a little overbearing. I recognize that.

Once I start putting all my little insecurities in my mind, I'm not actually acting. Then it's about me - and it should never be about me. It should be about the character.

I wake up and play a different person every day. Playing all these different characters and trying to figure out who your true authentic self is at the core of that as you're playing all these different roles, and man, that self-awareness starts to come into effect. And you start to see who you really are.

When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.
