Really, no-one is bad except for serial killers and dictators.

There are no good and bad peoples; there are only leaderships that behave responsibly or insanely.

Cynics will say there are no good people out there. And if you read the papers and watch TV news you could be convinced of that. But there are good people.

Maybe it's because I'm a little naive, but I do like to think that there aren't really very many truly bad people in the world. I think that everybody has their reasons for what they do, and if you really look through their eyes, you could probably understand them.

If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren't bad people. They all have their justifications.

Very few people do bad things because they're bad. They generally do bad things because they think they're the right thing to do, but they're misplaced.

The way I look at humanity, I don't think there's good guys or bad guys. We're all potentially bad and potentially good.

Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination.
