Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
I like grey characters fantasy for too long has been focused on very stereotypical heroes and villains.
George R. R. Martin
Image
True villains are extremely photogenic.
Wallace Stevens
Image
I generally play villains once every three or four years by choice because I get offered villainous roles a lot, because of the way I look and whatever. And I tend to avoid them because I think you can end up in a cul-de-sac of your own making if you're cast in that.
Kevin McKidd

The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.

The blacklist was a time of evil...no one on either side who survived it came through untouched by evil...[Looking] back on this time...it will do no good to search for villains or heroes or saints or devils because there were none there were only victims.

There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.
Jodi Picoult

In the theater, as in life, we prefer a villain with a sense of humor to a hero without one.

Calm, thinking villains, whom no faith could fix, Of crooked counsels and dark politics.

I think people respond to villains because people in general are more villainous than heroic.
Michael Emerson

There's always a villain in every book, in every movie. In every story you have the hero and what he wants, and that is the MacGuffin. The whole thing is about who's gonna get the MacGuffin. This piece that this Ace of Spades blog wrote is that's how the media covers [Barack] Obama, and I have observed this in different ways over the years.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Having wallowed in a delightful orgy of anti-French sentiment, having deplored and applauded the villains themselves, having relished the foibles of bankers, railwaymen, diplomats, and police, the public was now ready to see its faith restored in the basic soundness of banks, railroads, government, and police.
Michael Crichton

A lot of people seem nice when you first meet them. Then later you find out that they are evil villains who plan to take over the world.

If life has taught me one thing, it's that there are no villains. Only people, doing their best.

'Villain' is such a harsh word.
Ed Westwick

Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.
Christopher Walken

You know how great villains just believe in what they're doing? In their minds they're not villains, they're not doing anything wrong they're just self-righteous in their dedication to their cause.
Jessica Biel

It's generally more fun playing the villain
Charlie Hunnam

Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.
Shawn Ashmore

A boy is a man in miniature, and though he may sometimes exhibit notable virtue, as well as characteristics that seem to be charming because they are childlike, he is also a schemer, self-seeker, traitor, Judas, crook, and villain - in short, a man.
