I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.
You can live vicariously through the characters you play.
You have to discipline yourself and not carry the character with you. You need to switch it off and take time to re-energize.
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.
I'm very attracted to characters who don't necessarily make it easy to be loved.
I guess because I pay so much attention to the physical part of the character, I don't look upon it as like Charlize Theron up there. I don't think of them as like Charlize Theron films.
They really stay just characters to me. I look at them, and I don't see always the same person up there. And hopefully, people will see that too. Because it's very easy to bore people, and that's a killer. So hopefully that won't happen.
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
