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

I used to play a lot of villains. You have to break out of it, and I did.

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

Villains are fun to play.

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.

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.

Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.

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.

The thing about villains is most people play them with the shifty eyes and all that, whereas I play them as good guys. 'Cos everyone thinks they're a goodie, don't they?

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