I tend to like writing long stories in comics. I worked on 'Flash,' 'Teen Titans' and 'JSA' for years. I always like diving into characters.
various characters: I know a doctor who might be able to help you.
I spent a long time working in restaurants and making no money. It was very character-building, but I think it could have been built in a shorter time.

I'm a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.
To me, part of the fascinating profession of acting is to participate in all these strange situations, to try to understand all these interesting characters, fictitious or real, their human nature... It's extraordinarily fascinating.
It's actually meditative to sit in a character for an extended period of time, realizing what your relationship is to who you're playing and then letting go, just being there.
You don't want to be ungenerous toward people who give you prizes, but it is never the social or political message that interests me in a novel. I begin with an interest in a relationship, a situation, a character.
One of the things I find in writing about people who are dead is that, after a short or long time, no matter how close the relationship was, they become like characters in fiction.

I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
The Goth character was a difficult thing to get my head round. I'm not really a fan of Goth music. I'm more a piano and guitar man - that's what I love.
You know, I have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.
I love coming up with the stories and being creative and working with creative people and coming up with visuals and creating characters.
It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.
