I leave to others the decision as to the good or evil tendencies of my character, but such as it is it shines upon my countenance, and there it can easily be detected by any physiognomist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.
As an actor, I've given up judgement of evil, as long as it's human evil - we have to see ourselves for what we really are, and we're capable of horrific things.
That's one of those things that will really hurt me personally, if I label a character or think about what it might do if it were to do well. I just try to do a good job with it.
I do like to explore evil characters in my books.
I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
I don't really approach a character as to whether or not it's good or bad. I just approach a character as to where it lives in me.
Like most people, I'm fascinated by characters who are completely flawed personalities, riven by anguish and doubt, and are psychologically suspect.
People's character is their behaviour - we're all capable of good and evil.
I think if you find that you're making a judgment on the character, than your audience will make a judgment on the character.
If I play a villain, I try to find his lightness and his good side. And if I play a hero or a good guy, I'll try to find his darkness or his flaws. Because I don't believe in good and evil. I believe in grays.
