I've found that the people who play villains are the nicest people in the world, and people who play heroes are jerks. It's like people who play villains work out all their problems on screen, and then they're just really wonderful people.

A lot of people only see me as villains.

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 usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.

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

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 understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.

I love playing villains.

Damn you villains, who are you? And from whence came you?
