Heart is what drives us and determines our fate. That is what I need for my characters in my books: a passionate heart. I need mavericks, dissidents, adventurers, outsiders and rebels, who ask questions, bend the rules and take risks.
I grew up in a pretty large family. We were really close-knit, so I definitely want to have lots and lots of children.
I think you always learn something in every character you play onstage, either personally or creatively.
