I'm interested in characters that are complex people.

I always look for interesting, complex characters. You know, interesting, well-written material.

I like complicated characters.

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

The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.

I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.

I work very hard at creating complex characters, a mix of positives and negatives. They are all flawed. I believe flaws are almost universal, and they help us understand, sympathise and, paradoxically, feel closer to such characters.

I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.

I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.

Often the starting point for characters, for me, is finding a little, most minor detail, and I'll go from there.
