It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character.

Kelsey Chow

I'll never forget my high school acting teacher, Anthony Abeson, who said, "It starts with the shoes." When I think about a character, it does start with the shoes: What kind would she wear? How would she walk in them? If I'm going to put on a dress for a role - I don't care if it's the hardest dress to put on - I have to put the shoes on first. The physicality leads me to the character.

Jennifer Aniston

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.

Molly Shannon

I like to think I'm not so devious and maniacal. So it's fun to step into that world and put those shoes on and play that character out.

Oliver Stark

Playing characters is fun because you get the chance to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Tierra Whack

I'm learning that if you put yourself out there and make fun of yourself first, it really does work. People can't really make fun of you.

Nikki Glaser

I really do literally put myself into a character's shoes.

Ruth Rendell

The movie I'm really excited about that I had really fun doing is 'Feed the Dog.' It's with Nat Wolff and Selena Gomez. It's really fun. It's raunchy, like 'Superbad' meets 'Risky Business,' kind of. I got to be a really fun character, an out-there Mrs. Robinson-type character. I get to seduce Nat.

Elisabeth Shue

The experience of reading is very interesting because you put yourself in the character's shoes and everything they're discovering, you marry the experience.

Ashley Zukerman

The one thing you have to do if you write a book is put yourself in someone else's shoes. The reader's shoes. You've got to entertain them.

Mark Haddon

Any character, for me, always comes together in the hair, makeup, and wardrobe. Shoes especially. For some reason, shoes really do it for me because they help me figure out how the character walks.

Busy Philipps

If you have a character stand up and put on her shoes and open the door, in order to do that, you're imagining her shoes and her clothes and her house and her door. The character becomes more real. But once you've done that, you can probably just get it all across with a couple of details.

Alice Mattison

I really want readers to put themselves into the shoes of each character. So the opening lines are an orienting technique: this is where you are, this is who you are. Go.

Alissa Nutting

I think to really write songs, you need empathy. You have to put yourself in other people's shoes.

Ryan Bingham

You have to put yourself in people's shoes in certain situations because you don't know what people really think or what they're really going through.
