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.

I'd love to play a Bond villain. Yeah, I'd love to play a Bond villain.

I think I'd love to play a Bond villain; I'd have great fun.
I can be the best Villain. If I make the Villain different and unique to a point where no-one else can do it, that's where people are going to want me.

America has this fascination with glorifying the villain and not talking about the trials and tribulations.
