“You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.”

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.
Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.
I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.
The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.
