It's never easy with characters in these dark and grave circumstances but that's my job.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, I'm constantly striving to find the darkness in the lighter characters and the lightness in the darker characters.
My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.
I'm not a dark person at all, so those roles are the most challenging. I don't think I'm necessarily drawn to dark things. It just seems to work out that way.
I really want to do a dark character. Not really a bad guy, but someone dark and mysterious. Where everyone says, 'Ooh, it has to be her!' and at the end you find out it isn't. Just someone who looks guilty.
I think that quite often you can only find a choice between bad and worse. But I think it's worth making the effort, and I like to expose my characters to that sort of situation.
I find it quite easy to get in and out of character. I don't know why - I guess it's my job.
When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.
I've worked all my life to shed myself of any character.
Look, I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters.
