In every film, whether it's a fictional character or not, you create an idea of the character and for me I always do a bad impersonation to start with.
Your emotional life is not written in cement during childhood. You write each chapter as you go along.
One of my favorite things - and I am sure everybody else's in this Chamber - is to give away money. You really don't get much opposition when you give away money.
You have to be involved and relate to the characters in order to make a film that is true emotionally.
Although this is a fictitious story the history is real. You don't want to re-write history but you certainly want to portray events and characters as realistically as you can.
If you are not moved by the character, no amount of CGI will give you a performance that is emotionally engaging or devastating - what a live-action performance does.
Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.
My characters are fictional. I get ideas from real people, sometimes, but my characters always exist only in my head.
For a book to function... it has to be a functioning reality. The character has to be real, and I imagine that's exactly what happens for a spy who is in deep cover.
