A Quote by Jessica Biel

You know how great villains just believe in what they're doing? In their minds they're not villains, they're not doing anything wrong; they're just self-righteous in their dedication to their cause.

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 don't personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction.

Ryan Reynolds

I've played more villains than anything else. And I love playing villains, because I can just be evil and do whatever I want.

Jennifer Lopez

There's jerks, and there's villains. Villains, I think, are very aware of who they are and what they're doing and their effect on the world. Jerks tend to think they're great guys.

Ron Livingston

I don't like villains who are just villains. People who are just there to be bad - ugh - so annoying.

Julie Plec

Namor has shades of grey but always ends up doing the right thing. I've played characters with an edge - played villains if not super villains - and he's an anti-hero.

Brian Tee

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

Tommy Lee Jones

With villains you always have to understand what motivates them. Most people don't just think they're evil. They believe or know they are doing the right thing because of the circumstances they find themselves in. Or they are overwhelmed by circumstances and can't stop what they'll do next.

Marv Wolfman

I don't believe in villains - just people who channel their energy in the wrong way.

Elizabeth McGovern

I think that villains who are just brawn, muscles and weapons are boring. So I always try to find intelligence in my villains and also a sense of humor whenever that is possible.

Renny Harlin

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

Well, you know, in any novel you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against, and villains - I find the most interesting villains those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons. Either one is interesting. I love the gray area between right and wrong.

Dan Brown

I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I believe in, there's things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that.

Big Sean

There weren't any villains though. The world was just complicated in various ways, and there weren't any obvious villains to be found. It was excruciating.
