Well, I don't think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don't think you really can change a character on a show.

I think it's important to change and not be associated with your character too much.

And almost always there has to be change, change in the characters is the journey - it's the story.

Main characters should grow and change during the course of a story.

Especially when you play a character for so many years, the character ends up reflecting a lot of who you are and I think I've changed a lot since then, but that represented a lot of who I was as a teenager.

I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones.

There is always that thought that you might get stuck with a character. But there's always the notion that every character is always evolving.

I think everybody goes through changes, and the same should be said for fictional characters, especially ones that you follow on television.

As a writer, I have this compulsion to take characters who appear formidable and bombard them with adversity until they crumble. What's interesting is watching them rise again, and seeing how they've changed and grown, if indeed they have.

Never jeopardize who you are for a role. Now, I'm not saying you should never change for a role, because the fun of being different characters is adapting different nuances and different parts of the character, but never jeopardize your moral compass or anything like that to have a role.
