Whatever character you play, it gives you the chance to expose another side of yourself that maybe you've never felt comfortable with, or never knew about.

I think that playing characters far away from who I am as a person is a lot more fun and a lot more exciting, and you can play with it a lot more because it's not you and it's so far from you, so that's very liberating as far as that goes.

It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.

Sometimes I think it's easier to play someone who's very, very different from yourself. Besides, I wouldn't want to play people who are just like me; that would get awfully boring very fast!

It's easier to play quirky characters and hide behind wardrobe and make-up, especially.

For me, it's always more difficult and slightly exposing to play something that's close to yourself. I always like to try to hide, just because I can't stand the way I look.

I don't play a character. It's totally just an extension of myself.

I want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?

Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.

It's kind of fun when you're playing characters that aren't quite on the up and up and people still like you.
