As an actor, I think it's always important to separate yourself from your characters because, when you include yourself in a character, you're taking a liberty that you don't really have unless you're life is that incredibly close to the character.
On the stage, the characters express themselves more through words than images. So the arguments of the characters and the tension between characters - words have to be used to express that, and I love that about theater.
Describe character using dialogue. Describe character using what the characters see or do or think, but not what they had done or where they had been.
I don't try and write strong female characters or strong male characters, I just try and write, hopefully, strong characters and sometimes they happen to be female.

I would love to do more acting; I really would love to do it, particularly character acting. I'm a character type of actor; I love situations where I've got a bit of room to improvise on the character.
The moot question is not that how many persons are of good or not so good character, but who applauds the character truly as the real beauty factor in own and others’ lives.
What makes us love a character is a character that tries.
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
I tend to like strong female characters. It just interests me dramatically. A strong male character isn't interesting because it has been done and it's so cliched. A weak male character is interesting: somebody else hasn't done it a hundred times. A ...
Different people work different ways.
Many ask what difference does it make whether man believes in a God or not. It makes a big difference. It makes all the difference in the world. It is the difference between being right and being wrong; it is the difference between truth and surmises...
If human nature does alter it will be because individuals manage to look at themselves in a new way. Here and there people — a very few people, but a few novelists are among them — are trying to do this. Every institution and vested interest is ...
I'm a character actor at heart.
Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home.
Character is the basis of happiness and happiness the sanction of character.
Character is plot, plot is character.
I really love being a character actor.
