I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!
Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course.
Tennessee Williams was so adept at portraying characters who are both fallible and vulnerable. Women were a huge influence in his life, his mother and sister in particular.
I've been a character actress right from the beginning. I was no more like 'Cinderella' in my real life than I was like the neurotic poet in 'Cop.'
My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.
I think the ultimate thing in some ways for any writer is to work on a character who's going to have a life for a long time.
That character called 'Robin Wright' in the movie called 'The Congress' has nothing to do with me... I've never felt that way about life choices, career, etc.
I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.
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.
The exterior cannot do without the interior since it is from this, as from life, that it derives much of its inspiration and character.
In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don't think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.
I love acting... I really do. I love crawling into another character's skin. That's something that I've always, always, always, always wanted.
I fell in love with Crawford because when she was twenty or twenty five, she would dance and talk and sing and do the things that Peppy's character needs to do.
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'd love to do a character with a wife, a nice little house, a couple of kids, a dog, maybe a bit of singing, and no guns and no killing, but nobody offers me those kind of parts.
Every DC or Marvel property is constantly getting reinvented because we love these characters. They're so iconic, and we want to watch them over and over again.
I love the tradition of Dickens, where even the most minor walk-on characters are twitching and particular and alive.
I love character and voice, and my favourite books have been the ones in which I've become completely absorbed.
I would really love to direct one day. I think there are certain actors who love the character and the performance and that's all they want to be a part of.
I want to play a character I've never been before-a crazy serial killer like Charlize Theron in Monster. I'd love to have to shave my head.
