When people come up to me and say, 'Oh my God - you're that character,' I feel like replying, 'No, I'm just like you; it's just a job.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of times, I feel like people come up to me because they think I'm like my character in 'Easy A', or because they've seen me in interviews, but really what they're a fan of is a movie or a character.
When you're building a character, or at least when I'm building a character, you start saying, 'How am I going to make people like him?'
People don't usually compliment your character.
A character is as much about what you do as what you say.
With any show, when fans come up to you, they assume you're just like your character.
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people.
I love the idea that somebody is going to compare me to my character or think that I am like my character when they see me. I feel like that is a role that I am willing to fulfill.
I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.
