I am drawn to characters that go on journeys, characters that are real people, that have life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I take stuff from real life and try to make a character out of it. And I try to live the world of the characters a little bit.
I have a lot of real life experience that I can draw on. And I think that shows in the characters that I play because I'm always trying to find somebody - or find characters to play that I can identify with on a personal level or relate to. And I think it makes for a little bit more of an honest portrayal.
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
I love making characters real and believable, through my own experience and choices.
I always talk about my characters like they're real people.
My journey has been that of a character actor.
I try to play real people who inspire me through something in their journey.
I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.
I'm not in the business of meddling with people's destinies - and yes, my characters are real people to me. They have histories and thoughts and yearnings and hurts and misgivings and pleasures that don't belong to me.
At the core, I try to write characters who are real people with real insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams, which is why hopefully readers can identify with them.
