I don't personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains. They just have a certain agenda at a certain time.
I don't believe in villains - just people who channel their energy in the wrong way.
Villains are meant to be hated.
I don't do villains often enough. There are two approaches: give them sympathetic, reasonable motivations for doing the most unspeakable things, or get inside heads that are interestingly broken.
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.
Sometimes you hate villains, but you love that you hate them, and it finds this happy medium where you enjoy the process of loathing them so much that you want them to be there. It's such a weird, twisted thing that our minds do.
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!
Villains are a lot of fun. My villains have a lot of tongue-in-cheek. They are sometimes conscious of and a little bit gleeful of their villainy.
Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories.
I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
