I'm very excited to see where the characters and their relationships go. But in the end, it really boils down to the people who have more power than me, who control the money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters.
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
I am a firm believer that a good plot makes for a fun enough read, but it's not what binds us. If we don't care about the characters, we won't care - not in a lasting way - about what's happening to them.
At the beginning, everything's possible and everybody gets equal time, all the characters, all the ideas. You don't know who's going to be the main characters; they're all fighting it out. It's like kind of the best time in a way.
I'm hopefully making the reader feel a lot about the characters and then about their own life.
I do not choose characters because I think, 'Wow, that woman is so strong.' I chose these characters with utmost conviction because I think they were realistic enough to exist, and I really liked the scripts.
It seems to me that most people are interested in reading about characters who are richer than they are.
If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.
I'm in the business to push it. I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done.
I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.
