All my characters have playlists.
Making playlists can kill a whole afternoon for me. I like building very specific playlists for new writing projects. In a strange way, choosing certain songs is part of the process of plotting the book out. I pick songs that I think with resonate with characters, their personality quirks, relationship dynamics, action scenes, and so on.
I love music. I think music is a big inspiration; I listen to it a lot when I'm writing. I really love cinematic music. A lot of the time, I make playlists for my characters when I act. I also make playlists for the scripts that I write.
I have specific playlists for different books and characters. So, I need to have those with me. It helps me get into the mindset of the book.
The whole thing about playlists is what song comes next.
I make playlists on my iPod like nobody's business!
I don't really do playlists. I don't know how to make a playlist, honestly.
I'm an actor. I have to play weird characters, quirky characters, strange characters, sometimes characters I don't understand.
I would rather have someone read my diary than look at my iPod playlists.
A music service needs to be more than a bunch of songs and a few playlists.
I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown.
There are the people who overthink making mix CDs and playlists, and how that works generationally is all really interesting to me.
When people ask me for playlists, I always put in 'Moonlight Sonata' because it is my favorite song. I play it all the time.
I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I'm going to have.
I worked with a great photographer called Rafael Pavarotti a while ago and he's got some amazing playlists on Spotify.
I'm portraying out characters, I'm portraying femme characters, characters that are really outside of the box. I never thought I would get that opportunity to portray those characters at all, much less have a career that I have.
There's so many oldies stations with 'Never Ending Story' and 'Too Shy' on their playlists, thank God. People still love the songs.
