I do whatever I need to do to get into character. Sometimes it's being incredibly quiet, and sometimes it's being loose and goofy.

I hate hearing me talk when I'm not in character, and I can barely deal with hearing me as a character.

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I find it quite easy to get in and out of character. I don't know why - I guess it's my job.

When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character.

I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.

When I'm trying to find my way into a character, the voice and physicality are the first two things I do.

I think in many ways, I'm sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I'm just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they're doing what they're doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character.

For the most part, my characters don't talk to me. I like to lord over them like some kind of benevolent deity. And, for the most part, my characters go along with it. I write intense character sketches and long, play-like conversations between me and them, but they stay out of the book writing itself.
