I just thought it was amazing the character can go from being afraid of being political because of her experience with her parents to becoming politicized and convinced that violence was a way to express your political ideals.
I always find it a little scary to say that I'm like a character.
I think you always need to be able to relate to your characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean...you have to understand why they do what they do, but you don't actually have to be like that yourself.
It really wasn't my thing. It still isn't my thing, the whole science-fiction action thing. I prefer simpler, character-based movies.
I studied psychology in school, and the best psychology is in literature. It's so much easier to understand a character than a theory. You can recognize yourself—or other people—in a different way.
People are just funny sometimes if you find the right character.
