The best feeling is when you are remembered for the character you play on the screen and people associate you with that character. There is no better feeling than that feeling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I know what the character I'm supposed to play wants in general terms, and when I know what did the other characters want to do, that's when all these wills collide and the emotions show up.
I wanted to give readers the feeling of knowing the characters, a mental image.
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
When you have a chance to play a character people can relate to, it's rewarding.
When characters change on screen, it makes you feel better about yourself. You think, 'Oh I change too, I'm constantly becoming a better person.'
I've always been someone who feels better, if I see what I'm going through in a movie.
It doesn't matter what you feel - ultimately, it's what the audience feels. You can finish a scene and think to yourself, 'Oh, God. I was so deep in that moment,' and find it just didn't play. I don't know if I have very good radar about that or not.
When I'm writing from a character's viewpoint, in essence I become that character; I share their thoughts, I see the world through their eyes and try to feel everything they feel.
People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!
To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.
