I like playing characters with as many emotions as possible. I'd love to play a really crazy person - someone truly out of her mind.

I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.

I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic; to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It's a more subtle kind of challenge.

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.

In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.

I get cast as a lot of sympathetic characters. I'd like to play someone really unpleasant.

That's one of those things that will really hurt me personally, if I label a character or think about what it might do if it were to do well. I just try to do a good job with it.

When you're confined to a TV series, and you have to play one character, it can make you insane. But it didn't affect me. I got out in time.

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.

With any character I play, I gravitate to the juxtaposition and humor.
