I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I sort of leave the character at the end of the day. I don't carry anything around with me - no excess baggage or unnecessary thoughts. I think it's too exhausting to do that. To put things into perspective - your work is your work, and your leisure time is something else.
As soon as I feel people are talking too much about my character, it's time to leave.
I tend to plan as I write. And I want to leave myself open and the character open to keep on going until it seems to be the time to stop.
I've read all the 'Game of Thrones' books many times over, so I sometimes find it easier being on set, because it can be hard to get out of character.
I just want to keep laying down really great, strong characters, and the more I go unrecognized, the better job I feel I'm doing.
Getting in and out of a character takes its own time for me.
I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.
I tend to - every time I step onto the set until the time I go back to the hotel, I just try to be in character all the time.
I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
I believe that if I come home from a stressful day on the set, I just have to leave it there.
