I've always been very much attracted to a character that's actually free.

I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge.

I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.

There has to be something that I like about a character for me to be able to play him.

If you can just actually let the character be for a bit, then you get the right sense.

I like playing characters that are true to life, and there's no guarantee that any of us are going to be okay, but we intend to be, and we take the time to try to be. I don't think it's any different for a character.

I find that it's really important for me to imagine characters and situations. That allows me a lot of freedom.

You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.

I guess I find it easy to play uptight characters.

You don't want to play a character you can't inhabit or commit to fully.
