Opposites are attracted when each one is anxious about its own character.
In high school, I read 'Silas Marner' and I was very attracted to this character - he was very rundown and he'd just stop, and things would happen around him.
In the past, I was always drawn to really quirky, idiosyncratic characters.
Temperamentally, Sam and I are very much alike. He's a lawyer, my father's a lawyer, and I always wanted to play one. On so many levels the role just felt right. I fell in love with it as I would a woman.
I would say that a lot of the characters I've been attracted to are very vulnerable and they expose themselves emotionally. Not so much in 'The Fighter,' not so much in 'The Master' - I think those are different.
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it.
I'm way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It's just my personality, I guess.
Even someone as truly dark as Lorne Malvo is still very attractive, and you want to spend time with him because he's a fun character.
I think you're attracted to things that are different from yourself in a character because it's more interesting, and you get to play out a fantasy version of yourself.
I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.
I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.
I couldn't tell you a good, bad or ugly pilot just from reading it, but I can tell you a character I want to play.
I'm attracted to the underrated characters.
I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures.
I was very attracted to doing 'The Wolverine' in Japan because that's my favorite chapter in the story of Wolverine. But I'm not a superhero guy.
I have a thing for evil bald bad guys. The Kurgan is too sexy.
