Whenever I have tried to make a character bad, they end up being good in some way.

I don't think of the characters as being good or bad because that doesn't help me as a writer.

In general, I think writing characters, no one is 100 percent good or bad, and certainly, the bad characters never think they're bad themselves. Even the worst characters don't feel like they're bad guys on the inside.

It's always fun to play bad characters.

It seems to me that most characters, in anything, are flawed in some way, just like most people. You look for the good in the flawed people and vice versa, and then try and make them appealing in some way.

I think a good story's a good story and a good character's a good character.

I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.

I'd like to play nothing but good characters.

Good character consists of recognizing the selfishness that inheres in each of us and trying to balance it against the altruism to which we should all aspire. It is a difficult balance to strike, but no definition of goodness can be complete without it.

I've never seen any character I've ever played as a bad guy or a good guy.
