I confess I am a romantic. I love romance and I think it's really fun and delicious and some of my favorite films are love stories. I think that you just get a chance to fall in love with the characters so much and you get to explore their lives so deeply.

There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.

I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.

I did private study for about a month five days a week six hours a day. I came to understand the character in ways that I never would've previous to that. I was so innocent in respect to ways of creating characters.

People always love and respect characters who speak the truth even if the truth hurts.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

One of the beauties of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters.

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.

Whatever your relationship is to your sacred tradition in the West you have some relationship to the Bible if only through the names of the characters.

One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
