FEELING YOUR CHARACTER’S TORMENT

While I’m working, I might feel as tormented as the person I’m portraying. —Cindy Sherman, BOMB 12, 1985

I might change it to:

While I'm working, often i SHOULD feel as tormented as the person I'm portraying. 

If you don't know: Cindy Sherman's a visual artist who dresses up as characters and has herself photographed. But relevant to writing --

At some point: Do you feel what your characters feel? Are you not only tormented, but excited? insane? funny? motivated? confused, in love, hateful, violent, playful, etc.
