When a woman creates an unlikable character, a lot of people think it's a mistake.
Karin Slaughter

I don't approach a role by saying I'll be unsavory or unlikable. I think all the roles I've done have been very passionate people who go to absolute extremes to make their points.

The good stories, of course, write themselves. And somebody wants to know who are the really good writers, and how many of them there are. There aren't any. Most of the writers are likeable frauds. Some are unlikable frauds.

I'm just attracted to playing people who are ostensible unlikable. That's not to say that there's something in there that makes you care. It might be that you just find them so awful that you just can't stop watching, like a car crash.

I love it when you like a character, and then she does something you don't like, and you hate her for a while - then you love her again. I'd like to see her have unlikable moments that the audience understands and sympathizes with.

I still wrestle with the catharsis of acting. I don't end up playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result of that I don't always feel good.
James Ransone

I'll be able to pull off playing an unlikable character because inherently, I think I'm likable.
John Stamos

There are lots of unlikable characters in literature. It doesn't mean they're not fascinating.

I don't approach a role by saying I'll be unsavory or unlikable.

You don't get roles like leading character in 'Christine' very often because people don't really like women on film to be unlikable. I think Christine is lovable, but I don't think she's likable. I think there's a fundamental difference. For me, those are the richest ones. Men have had a career of doing those kind of things.
Rebecca Hall

I think one of my big skills is making unlikable characters likable or real in some way. No matter how hateful people are, there's always something vulnerable about them, or something that you can understand or relate to. I think that's my job as an actress - to find those.
Allison Janney
Image
I don't think that because you are a perfectionist that that makes you necessarily automatically unlikable.
Jennifer Garner

I've had male executives say that my lead character was unlikable because she slept with a lot of guys.
Julie Taymor
