I've only ever done out-and-out serious roles. I've played, like, five serial killers.

I love to play horrible, evil, mean people.

I love playing bad. But my whole thing is usually villains that don't know that they're evil.

I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.

I played a killer twice. Once on 'Matlock,' on Andy Griffith's show, I got to play the killer.

Usually I play the bad guy role, a terrorist or someone.

I always wanted to play a mental patient. I was fascinated with playing crazy people in college, and I don't know if I ever quite perfected it.

I always think I could play a fantastic psychopath. I'd like to play a psycho. With a heart, you know. A caring lunatic.

I remember playing John Wayne Gacy, serial killer, very sick, neurotic, screwed-up guy. You know what? There's a part of me there, too, and you explore that.

The villains that I play, I always think that they are grounded, wonderful people with enormous intellects who are very exciting to spend an evening with. I never see them as bad people.
