Being another character is more interesting than being yourself.

What's most interesting and most real to me in my work is to never make the role a complete character, because then you lose a part of the truth. I can't say that this person is just like this or like that. Because you can never do that with real people in real life, so if you try that on stage you lose the truth. Since I myself strive to be able to be a great many things, I also want my character to have that very same liberty. Eventually in that way it will add to a sort of completeness. But it is the story that is told that is the interesting thing and the situations the character is in. And as we humans always are shaped by a special situation or given circumstances, I can never ever say: Thus is my character.

Quite often my narrator or protagonist may be a man, but I'm not sure he's the more interesting character, or if the more complex character isn't the woman.

To start your life as a character of 120 years when you are in your late thirties, and then go back in time about 20 years later to play the same character who is your own age then, its very complicated, but very interesting.

It's really interesting that whenever you do something that is so out of character, like having an emotional outburst, that you don't get in trouble.

I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who's easy to like. He's not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what's going on.

For me it's even more interesting, because my character comes out of the shadow. It's a chance to really act emotionally, because the situation is an extreme one.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

006 was such an interesting character and the film really explored his friendship with Bond and how it all went wrong, so it was a very personal journey for both characters.

In Joyous Spirits
Wallow in joy for the rest of your life,
Open this sentence with absolute joy.
A life has immense value with the living art,
An artistic quality attached to the very heart of affairs
Is a new indulgence of a man always in spirits so high.
Highness is His importance of a joyful kind,
Kindness will match this name of a sound nature.
Those in search of character are not blind,
Interesting perhaps is their short form of patience.
Character shall mend us when visited upon,
It houses itself in caves, the caves of too much brightness.
