I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be. ↗

The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship. ↗
