I've put up with more humiliation than I care to remember.

These humiliations are the essence of the game.

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

I guess you could say that no matter what the characters are enduring, I try to make them retain their humanity. Their self-absorbed, grouchy, selfish, aggravating humanity.

The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it.

Oh, humiliation is poisonous. It's one of the deepest pains of being human.

My character and good name are in my own keeping. Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied.

I don't enjoy putting my characters through hell unless there's a reason. I don't use violence or anything just for shock value. They're always a means to an end.
