Your characters can do the worst things on Earth - cut to a happy baby, it ends up being OK.
Your character - you own it. That's something you have to grab hold of on 'This Is England'. Your character is your character.
You want to be honest with a character and play it truthfully, and you want to be genuine with your character.
You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.
You play your character and it isn't right to step out of it. You have to stay in that character.
You play the honesty of the characters and show a side of them that people can relate to and want to get to know.
You need to know the characters as living, breathing people before you start the plot; otherwise, you'll feel panic, anarchy and chaos.
You have to temporarily be the character in order to understand him. It's sort of what they used to call 'shape-shifting.'

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
I have run across characters in my political career that have that singular focus of being someone, being in a position of power.
David Wain's character on 'Bob's Burgers' is really funny and silly and makes me laugh.
What is important is the character that I play. Making an impact is far more important than the length of the role.
