When I create a character, particularly my central character, I want someone who is interesting and feels real and who might have quite a few virtues but is unlikely to be perfect, who hasn't necessarily made all the right choices.

I would like any type of character that I could be creative with and totally delve into.

I find more of an authenticity in people who are a little strange - so I really like characters who are just the tiniest bit weird. I find enormous comfort in that - someone who's kind of normal just doesn't feel as true.

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.

I always liked strange characters.

I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.

I always look to play flawed characters. I'm not very interested in playing somebody that's just, you know, the very nice one or the attractive one, or whatever, which a lot of female parts can just be written that way.

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

I love flawed characters, male or female, and I only want to talk about flawed characters, really, in what I do.

There has to be something that I like about a character for me to be able to play him.
