Well, I'm not a method actress by any stretch of the imagination so the best thing that I can do is be as real as possible and find whatever commonality in that character that I can see myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
My approach is always the same. I try to be as honest as possible. Find the real honesty and humanity in the character because even a fictional character is supposed to feel real. And my job is to find that reality and bring it to the screen.
You can say to actors that you've got to be the character and really get into it, but you have to make it realistic by bringing an element of yourself into it.
I can't act, and so I have to live that particular character in my real life and then exhibit it on screen.
Just be yourself. As an actor, you pretend all day - that's what the job calls for. So, when it comes to my personal life, a woman who keeps it real is a breath of fresh air.
As an actress, I'm constantly watching different shows and films and am always gathering information and inspiration for characters and techniques to make my performances the best they can be.
To create a character who really interests you, try combining aspects of your favourite fictional character with a real person.
When you're portraying someone that really existed, there has to be a time as an actress where you leave reality and move into the fantasy world so you can do your job of creating a character.
I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.
I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don't know if that would be my natural makeup.
