My life needed to be saved. Not just Foxy. That's my character. That's my work. Inga is a person.
If your life gets off to a rough start, just know this is helping you develop depth of personality and depth of character.
The way I live my life or conduct myself when I have a problem is very different from many of the characters I play.
Actually, I played Pontius Pilate as nice. An actor spends his life thinking he is Christ, and then he gets to play the character that killed him.
I'm a nice middle-class girl in real life, and I'm a mom and a grandma, and I usually play sweet characters.
I have a lot of compassion for human beings in life experiences, so I allow myself to feel what these characters are feeling and don't have a problem accepting that.
I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.
I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life.
The same characters that keep reappearing, bigger than life, find their own integrity in doing what they do the way they do it, even if it causes their own deaths.
A pilot is like the most extensive dress rehearsal you can ever imagine, because the writers are learning about the actors, the actors are learning about the characters.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
Every audience has its character; I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.
I love to play characters who are stuffy and nerdy who either then have a dark side or are pushed to a breaking point.
I always wanted to be a character actor. I love watching movies where you don't recognize someone because they're so lost in the part.
I love playing different characters and things that are challenging. I'm not interested in safety at all. That's what makes me get up in the morning.
I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time.
I love television; I specifically love having a dumb character on a TV show.
I love to come in and play with a wig or glasses or clothes. I love using props. I'm from the Peter Sellers school of trying to prepare for the character.
I love the feeling I get when I'm on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.
I'd love to be remembered as a character actor who brought illumination to roles in wonderful plays and who delivered performances that made people think and rethink those roles.
I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.
