I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.
I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.
I don't like to come at my character from some really technical place.
If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.
It's always hard but the reality is, especially in my case, that every time I go to work I have to do it so it's become part of the job. It's an extra challenge but it's also quite often another extra tool that you have to really think consciously about getting into the character. So while it does require more work, it's maybe even an advantage to a degree because it forces you to switch, to consciously have to jump into and out of the character.
Definitely the script because you want to be part of an interesting story, you want your character to be a challenge, then comes the director. But essentially it's the script first and whether it's a character that you think you can do.
