"We sort of stumble towards it, juggling a number of elements - trying to find a character's comic voice, their philosophy/world view, a behavioural meme, a speech pattern. The best characters emerge almost effortlessly. And then if you get the casting right you get a whole lot more texture and depth from the actor playing your character." - Mark Bussell
