I love seeing a story evolve over several books and watching characters develop.
I love becoming a character outside of who I am. Even when I was a little girl, I loved make believe, so I like it.
So much of movie acting is in the lighting. And in loving your characters. I try to know them, and with that intimacy comes love. And now, I love Voldemort.
I love to be a vessel through which characters can come through. And if I can move an audience with my work, then I've done my job.
I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.
I have an affinity for writing in the first person. I love the intimacy of being dropped inside the character.
I love action films. I'd love to do an action drama. I'm always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do.
I like doing character movies. I like doing movies about personal situations; that's what I love about dealing with things.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
I've played so many historical characters because most horrible dictators are short, fat, middle-aged men.
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them; he exhausts the possibilities of his characters.
The Amateur Marriage grew out of the reflection that of all the opportunities to show differences in character, surely an unhappy marriage must be the richest.
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.
You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.
I used to make up stories about my father. I would go to the movies and look for a character who looked like my father.
I feel that in horror movies, especially, if you don't care about the characters, you've lost the audience. No one cares, and it becomes a process of watching people get killed.
But he did say that the character would be on the sidelines in movies One and Two, and move into the middle with number Three, but I didn't realize he would move in with quite such a bang.
I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.
I think that's what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.
I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes.
