What I do is I come in the morning and get involved in the character, but I'm always very pleased to leave it at night and have my life.
I think one of the few times I've been involved with real-life characters was the story of Marie Bonaparte. I think it's really difficult to become someone that really existed.
I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.
