The highest qualities of character... must be earned.

I like to think I put some of myself in every character.

I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.

I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.

It's an interesting opportunity to do a long-form character and really have the time to find the nuance over an extended period of time. You can really dig deep.

I think it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it.

I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.

I love to start characters in a place where you think you know them. We can make all kinds of assumptions about them and think they have no redeeming qualities, but like everyone, they're complex.

Beauty has a lot to do with character.
