I'm about my characters.

I put a lot of myself into my characters when I write.

I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.

Exposing characters and their shortcomings gives me great comfort. It's always great to write about someone more mixed up than yourself.

If the character is really well-rounded, and it's a really strong character, and if the writing is just fantastic, that's the thing that will hook me in, certainly.

Creating characters is like throwing together ingredients for a recipe. I take characteristics I like and dislike in real people I know, or know of, and use them to embellish and define characters.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

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