What I can say is that all my characters are searching for their souls, because they are my mirrors. I'm someone who is constantly trying to understand my place in the world, and literature is the best way that I found in order to see myself.

We struggle throughout our lives to learn to accept the shell that transports us through this world, and many of us take great effort to change it. I believe everyone has at least once looked in the mirror and thought, 'That is not me. I am someone else. The world cannot see me as I really am.'

Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.

Fantasy mirrors desire. Imagination reshapes it.

I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.

Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

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 the characters I play are all inside of me in a way, and they're all different, the darkness, the lightness, whatever that is.

At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is.
