I've realised that when I don't play people who are complex I get very, very bored, and then lazy, and end up being rubbish.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.
I have been really lucky in my career, with the diversity of it. I get to play really complex people.
A lot of people ask me, 'What is your goal now that you have done everything?' And I always say that my goal is to not be bored by what I do. The only way that I cannot be bored by what I do is if I play something and it's all new to me.
When I play, I become entirely absorbed in the game. It may be a form of concentration.
Sometimes I think it's easier to play someone who's very, very different from yourself. Besides, I wouldn't want to play people who are just like me; that would get awfully boring very fast!
I work hard, so I play harder.
When you're doing a play, you don't always have a practical world that you're working off of. You have to create it for yourself.
I get bored very easily.
The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.
I work too hard and don't play enough.
