I am, as a character, at times, a little overbearing. I recognize that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I bring so much of myself to each character that there's always a worrying point when I think: 'Oh no, I'm really that person.'
Sometimes, I think I may be more recognizable because I'm character-looking.
I am very observant of people's character.
I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.
For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.
I think the great thing about characters is the ways that they can be surprising. I mean, sometimes you think you've got a lock on a personality, even just in life, and then they'll shock you by their behavior.
Yeah, I've always been accused of having a sense of mischief and I'm very flattered that you say you can see it in the roles I play, because I think that's important, even if I do play intense characters, like especially Christine Cagney.
A character is as much about what you do as what you say.
I feel like I'm the most well-adjusted character on the show, even though I'm sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters.
I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don't think I am like that as a person.
