I like to originate new roles and characters for musical theater.
I play a recurring role for a character named Doctor Imo. I assist the villain and show up from time to time.
I love all the 'Twilight' characters. I can watch Kristen Stewart and think, 'I want to be that role someday.'
I don't want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new.
It's my job in Hollywood to find roles where I get to be a character not a bathing suit.
I guess I've always been drawn to roles that have smart characters commenting on what's happening around them.
If my favourite director gives me a role that is very sparkly? A very brilliant character? I'll do it.
It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging...
I like doing what I do, but I like having the opportunity to do different things, and obviously comedy would be a fun jump. I've just been lucky enough to stay working. In my case, playing intense roles or playing character roles is something that pe...
The process changes slightly from role to role. Obviously, there are different things you're called on to do. You're not digging deep for Basher Tarr like I was for Paul Rusesabagina, but at the end of the day it's still all make-believe and you stil...
I'm interested in a lot. Like right now, I'm just really excited for 'Catching Fire' and 'Mockingjay' Part 1 and 2. But I love playing characters like Prim - I mean, Prim is like my dream character - but after 'The Hunger Games', it would be fun to l...
I'm just a pack mule. I've played leads and I've played character roles. Any actress in Hollywood will tell you as your age climbs, the leads thin.
I'm way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It's just my personality, I guess.
I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.
I broke into acting doing Latino roles. I played a Latino casanova in 'The Winner' and a Latino character on 'Hannah Montana.'
I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
I've never really played everyday people. I've played realist roles, but not mere daily life. There was always something incredible happening to my characters.
I would love to be able to play some characters on television that are similar to some of the indie film roles I've done, that have been so close to my heart.
I love saying dialogue and creating a full character more than just being physical. But I always end up doing physical stuff in my roles.
My role is to just tell the highest degree of truth with every character and every story. From there, I have no clue whatsoever how things are going to turn out.
