Bleak House is a great baggy thing, the plot doesn't work in all sorts of parts, so you've got to tinker with it. Usually I tell myself, find the spine of the story and stick to that and chuck out anything not related to the spine of the story, but that doesn't work with Dickens. You lose the flavor of him if you don't include all those other extra comic characters that he couldn't stop himself from creating. The plot bulges out. It's like horrible boils or something, but in a nice way.

I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me.

It was a short book, so the aim was to shave rather than lose en masse. The story came mainly through the characters talking to each other, so I kept their encounters and trimmed the descriptive passages. Greene wrote like a cineaste, and a lot of the picture painting could go without affecting the story-telling.

It's darker than you first perceive it to be,.. The American film company comes in and rides roughshod over people, but so do the other characters.

It is very much a character piece and very much about relationships. A lot of the themes in the film are about isolation and love, with all the characters isolated in some way.

I like that these characters aren't perfect. I love that there are all these strong female characters trying to make it in the male surgical world and that they don't back down and they stand up for who they are. Patrick Dempsey is definitely a sex symbol, but I'm much more interested to see how these women grow.

People will enjoy it. It was written in the 1980s, so it uses everyday language and a contemporary setting. It isn't as heavy as some farces, which speak in flowery verse. There are some hilarious moments and interesting characters.

We've learned more about the book this way than we would by just reading it. We can better understand the book and each character by actually becoming the characters. It's made the lesson a lot more fun.

You can never judge your characters. You have to love them, really care about them. You're never just playing a villain or the crazy lady.

Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.

These are unusually mature, complex characters. They do bad things for their own reasons, but that doesn't make them morally bad. In fact your heart breaks for these people.

All my scenes are in my bedroom trying on corsets,.. There's a little bit of nudity, but it's tasteful, behind a screen and in shadow. It's really a wonderful play about characters who are bound in one way or another, bound by conventions or circumstance or race.

I found myself wondering what a gay person in such a masculine-oriented society did - whether they fled to Denver or toughed it out. I began thinking about homophobia. In fact, the thing that destroyed the relationship between the two characters was their own homophobia.

The work is a set of five vignettes, sketches. The actors do everything. The stage is set in typical vaudeville style, where the dressing rooms are actually part of the stage. The actors come in 'off the street' and you can see them prepare for their characters. It is a remarkable set.

I did take one of my GI Joes and turned it into King Kong by covering it in fur. I liked to draw when I was little, too. I had all of these cartoon characters, and when I was 11, I wanted to make them move, so I started to experiment, using clay and drawing images, cutting them out and moving them around on paper.

The wonderful thing about Martha's work is that it showed such sweet empathy with her characters. Their joy was her joy, their fears were hers. At least it felt that way, which is all an artist can ask. Her art was pretty without being precious, sweet without being icky. And she was a truly nice person.
