I like complicated characters. — © Greg Kinnear
I like complicated characters.
I believe strongly that characters are five-dimensional, and they're complicated, and life is complicated, and people are complicated.
I have always liked kind of outsider characters. In the movies I grew up liking, you had more complicated characters. I don't mean that in a way that makes us better or anything. I just seem to like characters who don't really fit into. You always hear that from the studio: "You have to be able to root for them, they have to be likeable, and the audience has to be able to see themselves in the characters." I feel that's not necessarily true. As long as the character has some type of goal or outlook on the world, or perspective, you can follow that story.
I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.
The most fun characters to work with are characters that are complicated.
It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.
I tend to enjoy roles that I very closely identify with: fringe people and complicated characters, who might even be bad guys, or bad characters that have one redeeming quality.
Don't accept the excuse of complexity. A lot of people will tell you, this is too challenging, this is too complicated, yeah well I know other people simplify but that's not for me, this is a complicated business. They're wrong. You can change the world in 140 characters.
I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.
I am really drawn to damaged characters, and I have a lot of sympathy for them. Making those complicated characters empathetic is something to strive for. It's too easy to create a good guy or a good girl.
I really like to play these complicated characters, and I really like to transform.
I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
Usually, I like to play sophisticated-looking characters. I want to do 'Godfather'-like characters. Given my voice and style, such characters will be apt for me.
When complicated characters aren't well drawn, they're boring.
I just want to keep writing characters who are interesting and complicated people and interesting roles for women, in TV or film or in theater. I think that's like my 'Blues Brothers' mission.
Life is complicated, and art has the right to be complicated, too. I don't like films that simplify.
I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters.
