My job is to help the functioning of the story, not to draw attention to myself, but to make my characters function within the story, to work for the benefit of the story, to make the whole thing work.

My job is to allow the character to live and breathe - and become as real to the reader as he or she is to me.

I find I have to respond to a character or a story to choose a job.

My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.

I think of myself as an assistant storyteller.

I only have one job, and that's being a storyteller.

I have to have a creative role; otherwise, I simply wouldn't come into work.

I enjoy taking jobs that make fun of me - or me as Princess Leia, or me as the writer, or whatever, as some idea.

My job is mostly to entertain and be funny.

Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.
