Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can.
I don't know if I've ever played a character who's close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other.
In the theater, it's about taking time in a musical segment, a pause in a musical way and then moving on.
