It's fun playing the villain now and again; villains are so simple, and you don't have to worry about the audience loving you.
Boy I could do this forever; I truly enjoy bad guys.
I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
A villain can be stylish, and his actions don't have to be explained. Heroes are boring in comparison, even anti-heroes, as there's always a justification for their bad actions.
There's something about playing the baddies that people like. They're more fun, and people tend to remember them, particularly if you do them well.
You can't watch 'Daredevil' or 'Jessica Jones' or the Marvel films and not be aware that the villain has to be awesome. I've always wanted to have more space. And the scope, morally, is more broad for the villain than the hero.
I grew up on Disney movies and, as a kid, I always liked the villains.
It really doesn't matter whether it's the villain or the hero. Sometimes the villain is the most colorful. But I prefer a part where you don't know what he is until the end.
The challenge is, how do you take someone who's supposed to be a villain and make that appealing and lovable? You have to empathize with him and put yourself in his shoes and root for him and want him to have the things he wants.
Most actors will tell you that villains are the most interesting to play.
To me, when I watch movies, it's always fun to watch the bad cop or the bad guy.
Funny enough, you know who I used to really like in Lion King? It was Scar.
I'm going to try to play some good guys for a while and just see how that is. It's hard to enjoy them as much as the bad guys, and the clothes are nowhere near as good. Good guys don't wear nice suits!
You know that's why people don't like unlikeable characters. It's not that they're not interesting. Everybody knows the most interesting character in a book or a movie or whatever narrative is the villain.
I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.
A villain who shares one's guilt is inevitably more attractive than a hero convinced of one's innocence.
I have a lot of fun playing quote unquote villains because I think the bad guys get to have more fun, right?
I have always found myself playing the hero, but I love villains. Villains have more fun.
As a writer I'm more drawn to villains who are just slightly mad.
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
The best part of a great movie is a great villain and I usually have a tendency to root for the bad guy.
If you don't care for the villain, if you don't love him and hate him at the same time, then he's just boring.
Some of the best bad guys in movies are funny and charming.
I loved comic books. I loved Miss Marvel. I talk about Harley Quinn all the time because I think playing villains is so much more fun than playing the good guy because who wouldn't want to go to work and just be crazy?
Everything about playing a villain is appealing to me.
