I think you always carry a little bit of your character you've ever played with you. And I hope I'm able to carry some of Mrs. Maisel with me.
I think that you always have something left, that you take something of the character with you.
It was great as an actor to be given the story line I was given but I didn't expect Craig to stay so it was a lovely twist when I found out they'd decided to keep him.
In the old days, I just could not leave characters alone. Now I just try to keep the ones that still have something in the way of stories to tell.
I do not think I will ever write screenplays based on my books. I would not know what to cut out and what portions to keep. I like all the characters I have created. I cannot imagine chopping them off.
I've just never been the kind of actor that things have stayed with. I've never needed to carry a character off stage.
People are going to go where they get characters that they remember.
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.
I'm very much the type of actor that once I embody the character, I could stay in it from the beginning to the end.
The funny thing is you oddly don't really say goodbye to all the characters you've played. There's like a chest of drawers in your head that you can always access. They're always around. I'm not sure if that's healthy. But they're all there.
