I find I am more interested in the villain-type roles because they can be so much more complex than just the villain. I don't think anybody sees them as evil per se. They show how close we are to one another. It's an untapped area of art. And I think, physically, I'm not going to play the hero.

Shuler Hensley

I want to do roles that are important for the story and not there for ornamental value or to just aid another character in the film which is often a 'friend's role' in mainstream films.

Rasika Dugal

People think that because I play comic roles, my films will have a comic flavour as well. But I am a student of drama.

Satish Kaushik

After 20 years and 250 mainstream films, I thought I should have in my library at least 50 films, films that will be talked about when I am no more.

Prosenjit Chatterjee

You can't watch 'Daredevil' or 'Jessica Jones' or the Marvel films and not be aware that the villain has to be awesome. I've always wanted to have more space. And the scope, morally, is more broad for the villain than the hero.

Mahershala Ali

People often ask me why I don't take up more heroine-oriented roles. My question is, 'Where are these roles?' I really appreciate actresses who sign only films with meaty roles. However, there aren't too many of them. The industry is simply male-dominated.

Samantha Akkineni

People don't wish to watch masala films of the '50s any more. Audiences do not want loud films at all. They are watching Netflix and Amazon that have fresh ideas.

Farah Khan

In Tamil and Telugu films, I am not called for stylish roles and often play rustic or unglamorous roles in them.

Shamna Kasim

Meaningful cinema which lets me explore my talent to the fullest and with different roles is more important to me than just doing more and more films.

Atul Kulkarni

It is great that the industry is open to accepting character roles and moving away from the cliched Bollywood Hindi masala films.

Supriya Pathak

I want to get away from my comic image. Not that I won't do any more comic roles, but I won't opt for the usual 'Govinda' type of comedies.

Govinda

I am done with the cliched heroine roles. I can't go to work without a challenge. I want to do films that drive me, films in which I am a part of the main plot.

Samantha Akkineni

Villains can often be one note and I would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. It’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. In the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. And so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.

James Franco

To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.
