You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I’m not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can’t come back. Aaron Stanford Read Quote
You have to find it in the moment, and that’s one of the challenges of being an actor – especially a film actor – is that you have to maintain these heightened emotions for long periods of time. There’s no trick to it. You just have to do. Aaron Stanford Read Quote

Actors, we like stories, we like storytelling, we love being a part of the story, and if you give us a story that’s interesting then we’ll want to do it. Aaron Stanford Read Quote

I’ve been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character. Aaron Stanford Read Quote
It’s fun playing villains. It’s people who are not held by any moral constraints – or any constraints, for that matter. It’s a chance to be completely off the leash and do things that you never could in real life. Aaron Stanford Read Quote
Of course, I’m not allowed to talk about the script, but I can say it is a really good story. Aaron Stanford Read Quote
