The Bully has a Jekyll and Hyde nature - is vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can (or wants to) believe this individual has a vindictive nature - only the current target of the serial bully's aggression sees both sides; whilst the Jekyll side is described as "charming" and convincing enough to deceive personnel, management and a tribunal, the Hyde side is frequently described as "evil"; Hyde is the real person, Jekyll is an act.

I used to be very much Jekyll-and-Hyde, where the Jekyll in me would say, 'Keep to the budget, be responsible,' and Hyde would be like ,'Ah, we can do an extra shot or an extra day.'

Matthew Vaughn

Well being in Kiss is having a more limited spectrum. It's a smaller playground to play in because there are limitations. I'm the big bad wolf and I'm supposed to do this and that. There are rules, which are self imposed I must say, but there are rules. We break enough of them, but the truth is that being Gene Simmons in an album called 'Asshole' forged me the opportunity of just recreating myself. Very much Jekyll and Hyde. Mr. Hyde is the big bad guy and Dr. Jekyll has studied and both are connected.

Gene Simmons

Stylistically speaking, 'Paradise' is a Jekyll & Hyde song.

Marc Martel

Obviously I have more in common with Jekyll, but there's something about Hyde.

Tom Bateman

My wife would say I'm more Hyde than Jekyll!

James Nesbitt

I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Adrenaline makes me change.

Jean-Marc Vallee

Jekyll and Hyde, in particular, is such an important novel in terms of suspense and setting a perfect scene for crime

Alanna Knight

I never even went to Jekyll & Hyde's restaurant. I loved the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, though.

Alexandra Daddario

One of the reasons I got into musical theater was Anthony Warlow. I was obsessed with the 'Jekyll and Hyde' concept album because of him.

Rob McClure

Personally, I think I've got split personalities, and I may need a psychiatrist. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Seriously. I'm serious about this.

Paul Pierce

I'd really like to think Picard and Q are each other's Jekyll and Hyde. That's an interesting way to look at their relationship, and it gives you a pretty good idea of who Q is.

John de Lancie

There's a Mr. Hyde for every happy Jekyll face, a dark face on the other side of the mirror.

Stephen King

'Jekyll and Hyde' I read in high school. I was expecting a Hollywood-type horror story and couldn't believe it when I got this very complex narrative from all these different points of view.

Ian Rankin

I enjoy the kind of characters that allow you to write the dark stuff. I love Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, and when I'm writing for Dracula or Jekyll & Hyde, I get a chance to use that vocabulary.
