Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.

Everyone's different. I mean, some people write journals for their characters and stuff, but that was never really my area.

I'm not really often recognized - not really. Or if I am, nobody cares enough to come and tell me that they recognize me.

It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.

I feel that as a writer and as a performer too. I never really thought about backstory for characters. It was much more of a musical approach: You learn a melody, and then you sing it, I suppose, or you find a rhythm or a cadence that works for the material. And then it's sort of about hitting that note correctly and finding those beats.

I guess I just would never be so arrogant as to think that anybody would even recognize me. I didn't even think about it.
