I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.

I do not want to play a character who is exactly like me.

Very few of my characters are based on people I've known. It is too constricting.

I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you're playing.

I do have characters who are more well known than I am, which suits me fine.

Even if I play a similar role to one I've played before, I will never play it the same, I'll always try to do something different with it.

I never want to play the same character twice. I like to do different roles. I have fun with that.

I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.

You don't want to play the same roles or do the same genre.
