We have little bits of comedy throughout our films but this is like a full-on comedy. I had great time. It was fun to do a comedy and see a lot of the people I worked with on our previous films and meet some new actors. It was a good experience for me.

Alex Kendrick

It feels bad to play a bad guy. I did George W. Bush for years, and I hated him. But you have to give full voice to the villains. You have to have really convincing villains, or it's not worth anything as drama or comedy.

James Adomian

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

I think comedy is a bit more international than people credit. I happily watch lots of American shows and American comedy films. If I did a list of the top 10 comedy films in Britain, there's no sense that it would probably be different than yours.

David Walliams

Yes, I do have a soft spot for complicated villains who can't help themselves.

Judith Tarr

In American films, Russians are often portrayed like cartoon villains without clear motivations.

Yuliya Snigir

British actors are renowned for being great villains in movies, like Bond films, all the rest of it.

Luke Evans

I thought if I could do stand-up comedy well enough, I could parlay it back into films - like Charlie Chaplin and Woody Allen did. They merged principles of comedy and drama together, and that's what my first film really was, a stab at that kind of comedy.

Mike Birbiglia

Villains never know they are villains in a picture so I play this like I'm the nicest guy in the world.

Wayne Rogers

I don't play just villains. I like to have parts that are not simply villains.

Tommy Lee Jones

The thing about villains is that villains always have their own logic, and they don't necessarily see themselves as villains. Richelieu is not a villain, in his own mind. He's doing what he needs to do.

Adrian Hodges

I want to do comedy films, serious films - I admire the actors who fly under the radar but get loads done, pop up in a lot of good films.

Craig Roberts

You don't play villains like they are villains. You play them like you know exactly where they are coming from. Which hopefully you do.

Mark Margolis

I do a lot of comedy and I like that. I am happy doing funny films. I am often the straight person in a comedy, which is great as long as there are talented people to work with.

Kristin Davis

Superman, when he's fighting you, isn't like Batman. He also isn't like Spider-man, who will bully you and make fun of his villains. Why do you think Spider-man's villains all hate him so much? Maybe because as he breaks their bones he's mocking them! Batman's villains are all insane! Superman, when he goes after someone, is essentially not trying to beat them. He's trying to save them from themselves.

Max Landis

Comedy doesn't come easy for me. I've only done 2 movies that are really comedy-style films and I have to work at them. And they're just as scary in a way. I hate labeling all these things; comedy, love stories, dark drama, whatever.

Channing Tatum
