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. ↗

I'm not a villain, I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again. ↗

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that. ↗

I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain. ↗

I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions. ↗

The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized. ↗

The villain is usually the most interesting part. But it has to be a smart thing. Just dumb cliche villains with a Russian accent and big muscles and a mean face, I don't know. My Russian accent isn't that great, and the muscles aren't that big and the mean face is not enough. You know what I mean? It gets very boring. Tedious stuff. ↗
