Kim Roberts explains her acting philosophy: characters 'grow from' the actor and must be rooted in truth. She argues actors should find parts of themselves or people they know in a character, observe and understand human truth without judgment, and learn a character’s beliefs, feelings, motivations, and rationale (regardless of moral alignment).

Chapters

The character grows from me. So it's like some people want to put on a character and build certain things. For me, the truth comes from what parts of me relate to this character. Where can I see myself or people I know reflected in this character? And I believe in truth. You have to really start from a place of truth. Something that I find very amusing is people always say, well, how do I know you're not acting right now? A, you're not paying me, but B, to be an actor, you really have to embrace the truth. You have to embrace the truth in yourself, the truth in humanity. You have to see it, you have to observe it, you have to understand it, because that we can play it without judgment. But you're playing a good guy, a bad guy. Whatever kind of character you're playing, you have to understand the truth of that person. What they believe, what they feel, what motivates them, why they think they're right.
