I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

Very few of my characters are totally heroic or totally villainous.

I suppose the textbook definition of an anti-hero is pretty straightforward - a protagonist who embodies not only heroic characteristics but also some characteristics typically deemed non-heroic, even villainous.

It's always more fun to be an anti-hero. They're more interesting.

If the reader cares, I don't think it matters so much whether your hero is in fact an anti-hero.

I admire many people, but I am not sure that I have any 'heroes.'

I don't believe in anti-heroes. Duke Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero.

I don't play the role of a villain, really, but I like playing anti-hero kind of roles. I like characters where there's conflict, drama, and more personal investment than just being heroes.

I always thought it would be really fun to play a villain. I feel like I haven't done that yet. Not an anti-hero, not someone who is flawed, but somebody who is just straight-up bad.

I definitely have a preference for writing anti-heroes and bad guys, especially when they have motivations that the average 'good' person can understand and get behind.
