Character is what a man is in the dark.

Everyone on the planet has a dark and a light. That's a multi-dimensional character.

I really want to do a dark character. Not really a bad guy, but someone dark and mysterious. Where everyone says, 'Ooh, it has to be her!' and at the end you find out it isn't. Just someone who looks guilty.

I can't think of a story that doesn't have something terrible in it. Otherwise, it's dull. So when I embarked into the world of picture books, my first thought was to do something about the dark.

It's fun to play a dark character, but you go home at the end of the day not feeling very good about yourself. You go away feeling dirty. It seeps into the air.

There have to be moments when you glimpse something decent, something life-affirming even in the most twisted character. That's where the real art lies. See, I always suspect characters who are painted as lovely, decent human beings. I would always question where the darkness lies.

Everybody has a lot of darkness in them because without that you're not a whole person.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

I've played a lot of characters who are creeps or weirdos, with a deep darkness underneath the surface.
