For me, one thing I love is having an arc for a character.

I am a big proponent of character arcs that show us how people change over time.

When you're telling a story, the best stories, every character has an arc. Every one. And that arc is usually about finding yourself, or about at least finding something about yourself that you didn't know.

I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.

For me, plot always comes out of character, so I had to be sure of my characters.

Whichever character I'm using and wherever I am in my mind dictates what kind of story I'm going to tell.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

I love playing different characters all the time, so I'm concentrating on doing other stuff.

When I work on a novel, I usually have one character and a setting in mind.
