That's always fun to play: the person who can be truthful and blunt, and people take it because that's who she is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Creating a character and living truthfully through her is a whole different ball game. It's all part of the same person but it's a much newer medium for me.
When you're playing a romantic version of a real person, you're playing a version of the truth.
In terms of the characters I think are really fun to play, a lot of times it's someone in my head saying 'I know that woman.'
I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.
The person who is brutally honest enjoys the brutality quite as much as the honesty. Possibly more.
You want to be honest with a character and play it truthfully, and you want to be genuine with your character.
I always look to play flawed characters. I'm not very interested in playing somebody that's just, you know, the very nice one or the attractive one, or whatever, which a lot of female parts can just be written that way.
The thing I respond to the most is just great writing, interesting characters. I like to think that there is something fun about playing a character that has a lot of authority in her own life.
People always love and respect characters who speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.
I don't mind playing somebody who's not likable, or makes the audience feel slightly conflicted.
