I believe in doing the right things; that is my character and personality.

When I create a character, particularly my central character, I want someone who is interesting and feels real and who might have quite a few virtues but is unlikely to be perfect, who hasn't necessarily made all the right choices.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

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

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.

I don't need much of a character in my life. I've already got one; my family knows who I am, and I don't have a reason to make an impression on the world around me unless it's in a professional context. Acting is not a personal experience; it's a job.

Often I choose characters who express not my best self, but the sides of me I haven't developed or haven't expressed.

I try to find what is closest to me in the character. There's many sides to personality, but it's a matter of, do you entertain those specific areas of your personality, or are you afraid to entertain them?

I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I'm not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person - love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
