I'm not a fan of gushing emotions. I think that probably shows in all of the characters I play. I try to reinterpret the characters in my style.

You use your emotions to try and find them in the character that you're playing.
Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.
I'm an incredibly emotional person, but I always feel bad about that. The work is therapy... I need to emote wildly while I write. I weep. I'll laugh, get excited, and get up and pace. I try to take the emotional journey with the characters.
The stories that I like to tell and the movies I like are always grounded in the emotional arc of the characters.
In real life, you don't know what's going to happen to you, so why would your character know? It's liberating to play the emotion your character is feeling at the time and not know what's coming up. I like it.
I'll play a happy character, but most characters are driven by a pain or a fear. They are driven by something deep down, and most people are like that in the sense. And so, that's what interests me.
Generally, I think most of my writing tends to have some kind of magical element to it. That's the way I can access the emotional life of the character.
I play very, very emotional. That's just my style.
I have a huge emotional attachment to characters I've created, especially the viewpoint characters.
Because I was able to submerge myself into the character, I didn't have to go back and forth. You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.
