Texas is just so rich with characters. Women who live alone in a little house on a thousand acres with nothing but cattle and a pickup truck. And an airplane.
You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It's all parts of me. I don't leave characters behind. I just let them go.
I don't take characters home with me.
It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.
