Katie Cassidy Character Quotations

I loved being on stage. I was in elementary school when I started, so I couldn't say that it was about the building of characters.

I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.

I try to keep myself in what I'm doing and focused on character stuff, as opposed to getting wrapped up in worrying or being nervous. It won't benefit me, in any way, to focus on that.

For me, I just like to be as fun as possible, but I do like to bring a lot to a character. Given the script or the show, I know my boundaries, limits, and how far I can go with it. As far as me choosing these characters that have a lot of personality, I don't necessarily think it's intentional. I just think that I try and come up with a backstory of who they are, depending on the script or how rounded these characters are, and just go from there.

The way I prepare is through script analysts and back story. I create back story for a character based on script analysts, filling in as many details as possible. I also do a lot of research.

As an actor, you're supposed to be able to form yourself into different characters and different roles. It's a transformation, and it is awesome.
