Oh, that character was light years away from me. I'm not debonair. I'm not suave. I did wear tight pants, though, because I found out that it worked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess it's flattering that everyone believed I was those characters, but it also is dehumanizing.
I do not believe that with a fictional character you can force yourself too far away from yourself. There has to be some of you in it.
Clothes are part of the character. They can't but help inform who you are.
I have always weirdly seen myself as more of a character actor. I have never been suave. I could never see myself playing James Bond. I suppose I could fake it, but I am certainly not James Bond in real life.
I'm a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment's notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time, is terrifying for me.
I don't believe you just create a character out of thin air, there's always something of yourself you bring.
My character was obnoxious, had stinky feet and wore things like purple tights and a yellow top. I hated the clothes.
The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
I really do literally put myself into a character's shoes.
When I did 'Jump Street', I created that character; it was all me. I walked in and was just me. I could get out of bed and walk on set and be dressed.
