Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for a reminder of one of the reasons I write:

“Working your way through a character’s evolution can therefore become, I discovered again, a little digression through your own needs and wants. It can let you say things you’d never say in real life but that make you feel more complete for articulating. It’s safe therapy, I suppose, in which you can feel things and say things and even believe things without ever having to take personal responsibility for them. You can call that acting. But you can also call it a kind of freedom.”

So it’s all experience and therapy. ‘Kay, I’ll take it.
