I'd like to be involved in 'SNL' somehow. I mean, being a permanent cast member is a stretch! That's pretty damned hard, but to host it one day would be a dream come true. And I would like to play the DC Comics villain Harley Quinn.

Quotes by Harley Quinn Smith

History will decide if I'm a villain or a hero.

Quotes by Harlan Ellison

When something happens far back in the past, people often can't recall exact details. Blame depends upon point of view. There may be a villain, but reality is frustrating because it's often ambiguous.

Quotes by Hallie Ephron

It really doesn't matter whether it's the villain or the hero. Sometimes the villain is the most colorful. But I prefer a part where you don't know what he is until the end.

Quotes by Glenn Ford

Quotes by Erik Larson

I'm no hero. The world knows all too well about my mistakes. But I was never meant to play the villain.

Quotes by Erik Prince

Elektra isn't a villain and isn't a good girl, but as Frank Miller said, she is one of the villains with a weak streak in them, and that's a failure that I tried to explore.

Quotes by Elodie Yung

I think it's too easy often to find a villain out of the headlines and to then repeat that villainy again and again and again. You know, traditionally, America has always looked to scapegoat someone as the boogie man.

Quotes by Edward Zwick

I'm the guy who plays human beings. I understand why the characters are doing what they're doing. When you play a villain, you don't play a villain: you play a human being doing what he thinks he needs to do to get what he wants.

Quotes by Eddie Marsan

I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.

Quotes by Dwyane Wade

When I was a child I liked watching shows about bounty hunters and Canadian Mounties. I liked the 'Lone Ranger,' I liked shows where the guy saved the girl from the villain. I just liked those kinds of things and I wanted to be a guy like that, you know, that would save the damsel in distress.

Quotes by Duane Chapman

I'll tell you the secret. When you begin with a character, you want to begin by creating a villain.

Uncle Junior is a criminal, which makes him a villain, so it makes people want to watch him. My whole life as an actor has been preparing for something like this.

Quotes by Dhanush

I want portray a Bond villain. I think I'd give Bond a great run as the villain.

Quotes by Deep Roy

I call my golden retriever Cara my 'white wolf.' She's changed my attitude and made me write this book where the wolf is the hero, not the villain.

Quotes by Dan Quisenberry

I don't think of 'Macbeth' as the villain. I don't think of 'King Lear' as the villain. I don't think of 'Hamlet' as the villain. I don't think of 'Travis Bickle' as the villain.

Quotes by Damien Chazelle

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn't until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain.

Quotes by Conrad Veidt

I played characters with villainous aspect. But out-and-out villain? No.

Quotes by Clint Eastwood

I firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.

Quotes by Clive Barker

In my point of view, bad girl is not a villain. Like, people in the United States use 'bad' as referring to something cool. So it means 'Cool girl.' I wish CL was like that.

Quotes by CL

With all due respect to the other writers, I don't want to disparage any other writers; I don't want to have to invent a bigger villain than Deathstroke so Deathstroke can seem heroic fighting this bigger villain. I'd rather just have Deathstroke be who is, and he's kind of a bastard.

Quotes by Christopher Priest

Deathstroke is a villain. Don't come to the book with any expectations that he will, in any way or sense or form, act heroically. He's a bad guy, and that's the fun of it.

Quotes by Christopher Priest

I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.

Quotes by Christopher Walken

I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

Quotes by Christopher Eccleston

Well, you need the villain. If you don't have a villain, the good guy can stay home.

Quotes by Christoph Waltz

I studied religions and all kinds of other things in college. I took a Shakespearean villain course for English literature. It was really intense. I think that sort of rounds a person. In this business, it's really important for us to be interesting... and have interests.

Quotes by Chris Wood

Sometimes there is more exploration in the character for a villain.

Quotes by Chris Hemsworth

The next time you watch a villain or an actor whom you know to be a non-native speaker of the language, watch the lip-sync. You'll know the amount of work that dubbing artistes have been putting in to elevate the performance of the actors.

Quotes by Chinmayi

It's generally more fun playing the villain.

Quotes by Charlie Hunnam

My face lends itself to austere characters, and unless they're two-dimensional, I will do them. Any actor will tell you that an interesting villain is much more interesting to play.

Quotes by Charles Dance

The only difference between a hero and the villain is that the villain chooses to use that power in a way that is selfish and hurts other people.

Quotes by Chadwick Boseman

I like ambiguity because you may be the villain in someone else's story and the hero in your own, and I think very often, African-American characters are either one thing or the other. You shouldn't have to be perfectly good or perfectly bad. You don't even have to be magical.

Quotes by Chadwick Boseman

Playing a villain in a comic show, there's a thin line that you have to be careful not to step over.

Quotes by Casper Crump

Everybody loves a villain - let's face it.

Quotes by Campbell Scott

The Joker is my favorite villain of all time.

Quotes by Brooke Elliott

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.

Quotes by Brion James

It's as boring to see a completely evil villain as it is to see a completely good guy.

Quotes by Brian Helgeland

Character artist, villain, comedian, comedy villain, hero - he has been perfect in them all. That's Mohan Babu. His dialogue delivery is perfect.

Quotes by Brahmanandam

I'd love to play a villain in BBC drama 'Sherlock' - some sort of evil, slinky blonde would be right up my street.

Quotes by Birgitte Hjort Sorensen

I always enjoyed being a villain more, probably because you get to do and say a lot of things you wouldn't do in real life.

Quotes by Beth Phoenix

I want to play a villain - I can't wait to play a villain.

Quotes by Bernie Mac

Well, this is an unfortunate part of the UN institution. It's the - the theater of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament.

Quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu

Quotes by Ben Askren

One murder made a villain, Millions a hero.

Quotes by Beilby Porteus

Quotes by Avi Arad

Quotes by Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Quotes by Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Someone has to be the villain. I'm the most villainized player right now. People don't like me.

Quotes by Austin Seferian-Jenkins

I've never really been serious about my villainy. I don't have a master plan. I suppose my philosophy is: Every villain has a mother. For every cold-blooded killer on your screen, there's a little old lady somewhere who calls him 'sonny.'

Quotes by Anthony Zerbe

I think all of us have a hero and a villain in us.

Quotes by Anson Mount

Rotgut was, to me, just this way to get into the underground of Manhattan where you have these little pockets a villain could rise from; a rot in the bowels of Manhattan. It led to these stories that were just very creepy.

Quotes by Ann Nocenti

I hope we can see African American characters as the diva, as the villain, and also as the praying mother. We are all of those things. We tended to only be the best friend or the neighbor in everybody's sitcom.

Quotes by Angela Robinson

Playing the villain, bringing her to life, is the most fun because there really are no rules.

Quotes by Angela Robinson

It gives me a chance to explore so many dynamics - that's what we actors dream of doing. So, I love playing the villain.

Quotes by Angela Robinson

I don't want to paint myself as some villain - I was never a bad guy doing horrible things, but I got too caught up in wanting a very specific thing to happen to the band. Ultimately, I had to find the ability in myself to get over that and stop being so stringent and learn to laugh a little bit more.

Quotes by Andy Biersack

You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.

Quotes by Andy Garcia

The difficult part of writing about someone you don't admire is that it's easy to demonize them. What you get then is a cackling villain, twirling their mustache at every dastardly deed they commit.

Quotes by Andrew Shaffer

If there is one thing for which the 'Real Housewives' franchise deserves artistic recognition, it is the patient and immaculate building of a villain.

Quotes by Andrea Seigel

My question is why does every African American fighter have to be the villain?

Quotes by Andre Ward

I try to do different things. My main goal is to choose roles where I won't repeat myself or where I will not be doing the same role over and over. I try to do a villain, the best friend to the lead, and then a lead. I try to vary it up because if I don't, I will get bored.

Quotes by Ana Layevska

When I play a villain, I usually get home and sleep straight through the night. It's physically and emotionally draining.

Quotes by Ana Layevska

I'd love to do a James Bond-y kind of villain!

Quotes by Allison Janney

One doesn't need a particular height or body to be a villain in movies. He needs the brain and the look.

Quotes by Ali

Quotes by Alex Gibney

I know what's good for me. I can't play black or gray. I can't be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white.

Quotes by Alan Ladd

Quotes by Alan Menken

A villain number is a very valuable thing to have, but if you look at most musicals, one way or another there's an antagonist number.

Quotes by Alan Menken

You could be a victim, you could be a hero, you could be a villain, or you could be a fugitive. But you could not just stand by. If you were in Europe between 1933 and 1945, you had to be something.

Quotes by Alan Furst

'Villain' succeeded because we were genuinely working towards a good film. We worked hard and with a lot of conviction.

Quotes by Ajith Kumar

I've played the villain before, but my baddies have always entertained.

Quotes by Akshaye Khanna

It was my mustache that landed jobs for me. In those silent-film days it was the mark of a villain. When I realized they had me pegged as a foreign nobleman type I began to live the part, too. I bought a pair of white spats, an ascot tie and a walking stick.

Quotes by Adolphe Menjou
