My role is to just tell the highest degree of truth with every character and every story. From there, I have no clue whatsoever how things are going to turn out.

I'm not saying that I am all of my characters, but for me to bring a character to life, you've got to be able to find your own truth.
All you can do is focus on telling the best story you can with compelling characters. If you do it right, it will endure. If you do it wrong, it won't.
No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.
My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.
Make your characters believable, and your reader will believe what they believe.
What we want to see is stories that are going to be honest stories about the characters that we're telling them about.
Whether I'm acting, writing, or directing, I want to tell the truth about human beings, especially my folk.
What happens with every role, you have to trick yourself, you have to creatively find ways to explore the mental state of your character.
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.
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
