I think you always carry a little bit of your character you've ever played with you. And I hope I'm able to carry some of Mrs. Maisel with me.
I think that you always have something left, that you take something of the character with you.
It was great as an actor to be given the story line I was given but I didn't expect Craig to stay so it was a lovely twist when I found out they'd decided to keep him.
I do not think I will ever write screenplays based on my books. I would not know what to cut out and what portions to keep. I like all the characters I have created. I cannot imagine chopping them off.
In the old days, I just could not leave characters alone. Now I just try to keep the ones that still have something in the way of stories to tell.
I've just never been the kind of actor that things have stayed with. I've never needed to carry a character off stage.
People are going to go where they get characters that they remember.
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.
I'm very much the type of actor that once I embody the character, I could stay in it from the beginning to the end.
The funny thing is you oddly don't really say goodbye to all the characters you've played. There's like a chest of drawers in your head that you can always access. They're always around. I'm not sure if that's healthy. But they're all there.
