I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can't help myself.

The way I live my life or conduct myself when I have a problem is very different from many of the characters I play.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.

It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

I'm about my characters.

You live vicariously through your characters.

I always try to make each character my own.

For the most part, my characters don't talk to me. I like to lord over them like some kind of benevolent deity. And, for the most part, my characters go along with it. I write intense character sketches and long, play-like conversations between me and them, but they stay out of the book writing itself.

When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character.
