I usually start with a repulsive character and go on from there.

The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.

There are so many ways to approach a character. You have to figure out the similarities between you and the character, build on them, and at the same time, blur the dissimilarities. Since you do it day in and day out, it becomes a process and a part of you.

I try to allow the spirit of the character to live through me. That's the only way I know how to approach acting. I have to live it.

I always do whatever is best for the character.

Voices have always been my way into a character. I usually approach the voice first.

I don't really approach a character as to whether or not it's good or bad. I just approach a character as to where it lives in me.

If I prepare myself for a character, for a role, I always try to understand her.

I approach things from my feeling first. I have to get a feel for the character. I'll do that through music; I'll do it through what is naturally popping up for me when I read the script. My ideas or whatever the occupation of the character might be.

I don't know if I do anything to get into character: I just go with my gut.
