I made my England debut when I was 17, against India. I was the first Asian to play for the England women's team, and I did have mixed feelings playing against the country my parents are from but I was born and bred in England and I've always known I wanted to play for my country.

Isa Guha

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

Orlando Bloom

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.

Rhys Ifans

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

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

I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.

David Beckham

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

It's true in the beginning I started playing villains, and I think that's pretty clear, because if you don't conventionally look a certain way and you've got a certain kind of presence when you're young, then what's available to you is character roles, and the best character roles when you're young tend to be villains.

Willem Dafoe

Playing villains is very liberating because unlike the leading man, nothing is expected of you. Leading men have to look good, they have to behave in a certain way, they have to fulfill an audience's expectations. But as a bad guy, you have free license to take the audience by surprise. And that's what audiences want - they want unpredictability from their villains. The villain's job is to subvert it.

Alfred Molina

When Robert Frost was alive, I was known as the other new England poet, which is to be barely known at all.

Howard Nemerov

I love playing villains.

Alfred Molina

For me there's nothing better than putting the white shirt on for England and playing for England. I'd get worried if it wasn't like that.

Michael Owen

It is fun playing villains, for sure.

Donal Logue

I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.

Ralph Fiennes

I think with England, I look at myself and accept that I didn't do well enough; then, other times, I was playing my best football for United and England didn't happen.

Michael Carrick

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.
