“When I come up with my characters, I think about what’s happened in their past to make them who they are. They have wounds that cause them to develop fears, and those fears lead to false beliefs. Misperceptions about who they are and the world around them and—and love. Obviously. Everything they do, every choice they make, it all comes back to that. What they want, what they’re willing to do to get it, their personality traits, the choices they make, even their jobs. Sometimes especially their job. And I don’t think we, as people, are any different.”
