My take on people and on the characters i play in transsiberian, the role you're looking for, is that everybody is more than one thing. we're many things, all of us, and there are times when we are capable of great levity and jolliness and then there are times when the opposite is true.

More From Emily Mortimer

As we grow older, we should learn that these are two quite different things. character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. we are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable.
Strong Character Two
When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?
Art Stars Confused
Burmese authors and artists can play the role that artists everywhere play. they help to mold the outlook of a society - not the whole outlook and they are not the only ones to mold the outlook of society, but they have an important role to play there. and i think if they take up this role seriously and link it to the kind of changes were wish to bring about in our country they could be a tremendous help.
Country Artist Thinking
[the man] was a case where it was a funny role teamed up with another actor. it's a great teaming. and the role was a bigger role. it wasn't so much that it was a co-starring role. this is not a new direction. i'm not saying, 'no. i'm only now co-starring.' it just happens it's a co-starring role.
Men Roles Actors
Some of the things i love the most are when a writer or a visionary takes on sort of an iconic character and then spins it. like with frank miller, batman was this one thing for basically forty years, and then frank miller came along and said he can also be this other thing. and christopher nolan came along and said he can also be this other thing. the idea of taking iconic comic book characters or superhero characters or mythic characters and subverting the genre or coming up with a new idea is something that's really interesting to me.
Book Character Interesting
I had to audition for fandango. when i read the script, the role that was interesting - so everyone thought - was the role that costner played. he was the cool guy. and i read the script, and my representation at the time said, "that's the role you should read for." and i was like, "really? how about i read for this other role." and they went, "well, you're not going to get that role."

There are two ways to be cool: one is to be disinterested and make it seem like you must be doing something much more interesting than everybody else if you are this disinterested. the other is to be extremely interested. you are not trying to please anyone, but you are really invested are really focused.
