When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.

To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.

The best role is something that's challenging. Fun is great, but when it's challenging, you get to overcome barriers, and when you see the finished product, it's very rewarding.

The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group, cooperative experience.

I used to be under the impression that if a role wasn't difficult, then there was nothing happening. Then a director said to me: 'Ken, you've got to realise, acting can be fun, too.'

If there aren't roles you want to play, then you've kind of got to create them.

I'm always looking to do different roles and play around a little bit. That's always the fun part of my job.

It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character.

It's always challenging to go into a role.

With acting, it's like you form chemistry with different people in different ways, so it's really added even more fun to work, you know?
