Robert Kazinsky Quotes

I've learned a lot about good and evil. They are not always what they appear to be.

Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.

I don't think good and evil are polarized.

It's as boring to see a completely evil villain as it is to see a completely good guy.

If I play a villain, I try to find his lightness and his good side. And if I play a hero or a good guy, I'll try to find his darkness or his flaws. Because I don't believe in good and evil. I believe in grays.

As Faulkner says, all of us have the capacity in us for great good and for great evil, for love but also for hate. I wanted to write those kinds of complex character in a fantasy, and not just have all the good people get together to fight the bad guy.

In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.

Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good but between Bad and Worse.

There is no possible source of evil except good.

It's much less interesting as an actor playing someone who's purely good or purely evil.

I don't believe that there's a good guy and a bad guy. Unless it's like Superman or Batman, there is no good guy and bad guy.

I like to see the difference between good and evil as kind of like the foul line at a baseball game. It's very thin, it's made of something very flimsy like lime, and if you cross it, it really starts to blur where fair becomes foul and foul becomes fair.

There are heroes in evil as well as in good.

None of us are good or evil, and that frustrates us because we want to see others as wearing a white hat or black hat. My hat is grey.

I purposefully try to make films in that grey area, where things are morally ambiguous. It's like life: good people do horrible things, and bad people do good things, and there's beauty in horror and horror in beauty.

We all are who we are. We're not necessarily good, and we're not necessarily bad. So much television, in the writing, is so one-dimensional, in that aspect, where you have your good guys and you have your bad guys.

I don't write about good and evil with this enormous dichotomy. I write about people. I write about people doing the kinds of things that people do.

The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.

It's good to play something that's black and white, and a guy that sees right and wrong. I've never played a character like that.

Well, you know, in any novel you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against, and villains - I find the most interesting villains those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons. Either one is interesting. I love the gray area between right and wrong.

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

I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy', because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.

Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing.

Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both.

What 'Twilight Zone' did was show we all have a great capacity for good and evil.
