Look, I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters.

I like dark, dramatic roles; they're just really powerful and real.

I like playing characters who are fractured, broken. I find that more relatable, for some reason. I don't feel that I'm like that myself by nature, but there's just something that you can really grab hold of if people have a darkness in them, I think.

I love to play characters who are stuffy and nerdy who either then have a dark side or are pushed to a breaking point.

Theater people say you are either a comedian or a tragedian, and I'm a tragedian. And the vexing, dark characters, the ones where I don't understand their pain or their anguish, they are the characters that appeal to me.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

In general, I am more interested in the darker characters when I watch or read stories.

I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.

As an actor, I'm constantly striving to find the darkness in the lighter characters and the lightness in the darker characters.

I quite like some of the movies that have many characters in them.
