A Quote by Rhys Ifans

Villains are fun. I think the important thing in playing them is that they don't see themselves as villains. It lets you be a little more expansive.

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 have always found myself playing the hero, but I love villains. Villains have more fun.

Orlando Bloom

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

I've played a lot of villains. The villains are always fun because you can just go fractionally bigger than life. It's always a grey area because you don't want to end up mustache-twirling and making them a little false, but you always get to play a little more, whereas the lead guy has to be a little more straight.

Neil Jackson

I've played some good villains, in the last few years. I'm good where I'm at. But it is fun playing villains, for sure.

Donal Logue

It is much more fun to write about villains then heroes. The villains are the ones that think out the scheme, and the heroes just kind of come along for the ride.

D. J. MacHale

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

Villains are a lot of fun. My villains have a lot of tongue-in-cheek. They are sometimes conscious of and a little bit gleeful of their villainy.

John Rhys-Davies

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

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, at one point, had such great villains with shades of grey and a compelling story around them. But Bollywood did see a decline when villains were nothing but aimless goons who had no real purpose to them.

Mukesh Rishi

Once I gave up the hunt for villains, I had little recourse but to take responsibility for my choices.... Needless to say, this is far less satisfying that nailing villains. It also turned out to be more healing in the end.

Barbara Brown Taylor

Shakespeare's villains are fabulous because none of them know that they are villains. Well, sometimes they do.

Ian Mckellen

In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains. They just have a certain agenda at a certain time.

Michael Jai White

Actors endow the villain in fiction with a warmth and quality that makes them memorable. I think we like fictional villains because they're the Mr. Hyde of our own dreams. I've met a few real villains in my time, and they weren't the least bit sympathetic.

John Rhys-Davies

It is fun playing villains, for sure.
