I often play the quote-unquote bad guy, and I don't know why that is but it's just something that I've always hopefully been able to tap into. Maybe I'm harboring some deep, dark secrets that even I don't know about.

Oliver Stark

I have a lot of fun playing quote unquote villains because I think the bad guys get to have more fun, right?

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

There's something about being any kind of entertainer that is acting. You have to put on a show. Things you wouldn't do in your life, you do on stage. You have to let go. And that's extra hard for rappers. We have a tendency to, quote unquote, keep it real. As an actor, you have to be able to humiliate yourself. Do whatever it takes.

Heavy D

I feel privileged that I've been able to get anywhere, with my quote-unquote limited mainstream appeal, given my race and subject matter. Of course, I always have my masters to fall back on.

Hari Kondabolu

Quote/Unquote and you can quote me on the quote/unquote.

Dane Cook

I was always trying to be a quote, unquote, film composer.

Henry Mancini

I don't have an aversion to quote unquote remakes, because I understand what dramatic writing is, what the dramatic profession has always been about, which is talent, not the pretext for its exhibition.

William Monahan

Doing something because it's quote-unquote a good career move doesn't really appeal to me.

Seth Green

You, quote, find your voice, unquote, when you are able to invent this one character who resembles you, obviously, and probably is more like you than anyone else on earth, but is not the equivalent to you.

Billy Collins

I never grew up thinking I wanted to be a quote-unquote star or anything. My thing was just feeling blessed to be able to make my living acting.

Ving Rhames

Every album I've done pretty much has been not in a pleasant, quote-unquote, environment - it's freezing cold, or it was somebody's house with not-that-great equipment. It's always something that spurs on to get the job done.

Jack White

I don't care what we're quote-unquote selling; we're about inspiring people through storytelling.

Mindy Grossman

I have been thinking a lot about what we see in villains, how we relate to villains, and what it is about certain villains that we actually empathize with. Like Macbeth. We're not supposed to like a guy who kills the king and takes over, but there's something about him we're really fascinated by.

Finn Wittrock

We live in a global society, and I don't think we can talk about, quote unquote, 'American themes' anymore.

Lynn Nottage

I'm always interested in what we're not being shown. So if you're playing ostensibly a quote-unquote 'baddie,' what are their good sides, and vice versa.
