I've always felt that almost every part I've played has been a character part. I mean, I look at it that way. I can't help how I look or how I seem to people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it. Either the character helps you discover that element of you or the other way around, where that element of you helps you discover the character.
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
A lot of people get stereotyped into roles just from how they look, and I have played such a variety of characters.
I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.
