There is always pressure playing a real living person and even pressure developing a character from scratch.
I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.
I often wonder if we were all characters in one of God's dreams.
Key element of television programming, the characters must watch the programming themselves.
Stress builds character and failure breeds motivation. I guess I'm a Optimist.
I see bits and pieces of me in all the characters in my films.
I like to think I'm not a narcissist, but truth be told, we all have those sides to our character.
There's nothing like getting yourself into character and seeing a different person. It really wears on your vanity.
It's hard to hold the focus that strongly on a single character for that long.
The way I see it, the third series of 'Downton Abbey' is all about change and how each character adapts to those changes.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
Theatre should be a taxing experience: the greatest achievement of a writer is to produce a character who creates anxiety.
The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.
I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.
There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.
I felt they had really moved the characters in a direction that was very interesting. The family had really felt the impact of what had happened to the.
Actually, I find it great fun to develop family series with lots of characters.
Acting is still, of course, what I love to do most. The beauty of it is that by changing characters, it never gets boring.
I think the beauty of the writing of 'Game of Thrones' is not that the characters are fearless; it's how they overcome their fear, you know?
That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.
