My characters all have issues, but I don't see that as weird or abnormal because I think in real life there are very few bland, normal people.

I always liked strange characters.

To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it.

I think that I've always been attracted to characters who are positive and come from a very innocent place. I think there's a lot of room for discovery in these characters, and that's something I always have fun playing.

I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs.

Everyone loves characters that are relatable or who have unique quirks or tragic flaws.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.

I like characters that make me feel challenged and sort of inspired.

I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.
