When I act, I try to understand the character, why she's behaving like that.

Anytime you take on a character... you just have to find the parts of the character that you can understand.

I do think you need to understand a character's motivation and perspective.

For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.

My school of thought with going into a character is that you have to understand where they come from, and you have to empathize with them.

There's one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.

When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character.

I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.

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

I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
