Villains are fun to play.

I have always found myself playing the hero, but I love villains. Villains have more fun.

I've always had an incredible interest in the villains, which are a lot more fun to play.

I love playing villains.

I think the trick to playing villains is that you can't play them as if they know that they're villains, otherwise it becomes some sort of mustache-twirling caricature!

I don't play just villains. I like to have parts that are not simply villains.

I generally play villains once every three or four years by choice because I get offered villainous roles a lot, because of the way I look and whatever. And I tend to avoid them because I think you can end up in a cul-de-sac of your own making if you're cast in that.

You don't play villains like they are villains. You play them like you know exactly where they are coming from. Which hopefully you do.

I've played a lot of villains. The villains are always fun because you can just go fractionally bigger than life. It's always a grey area because you don't want to end up mustache-twirling and making them a little false, but you always get to play a little more, whereas the lead guy has to be a little more straight.

It's generally more fun playing the villain.
