I don't believe you can get into somebody's character but more that somebody comes in you. You just use yourself. In everything I play, I feel like it is me. I just say different things on different times and look different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's different ways of getting into character. There's what's called 'the outside,' in which is finding the physicality of the character first. To give an example, in 'Gettin' Square' - Johnny Spitieri - that's how I found that character. I knew those people that I'd seen up at Kings Cross. I knew how they sounded.
I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.
I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.
I've always felt that almost every part I've played has been a character part. I mean, I look at it that way. I can't help how I look or how I seem to people.
There is a little bit of me infused in every character I play.
It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.
I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.
I don't know if I do anything to get into character: I just go with my gut.
There's nothing like getting yourself into character and seeing a different person. It really wears on your vanity.
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
