- Ana Layevska

Back in the '30s, '40s and '50s, you had clear-cut heroes, clear-cut supervillains. Today, you have more of a blend, more of a gray area between the two. You have the rise of the sympathetic villain and the rise of the antihero.
- Jim Lee
#Villain
So once I thought of the villain with a sense of humor, I began to think of a name and the name "the Joker" immediately came to mind.

As you do on any cable series, if they introduce you as the villain, then you better start working towards making him a really good guy, or if they introduce you as a really good guy, then you better start working towards being the villain.

#Villain
Operas elucidate, in a way sometimes absent in other theatrical productions, the very human fact that in every hero, there is a thread of duplicity. In every villain, there is another side to consider: We don't have to like him or her, but we are compelled to think about motivation.
- Karen DeCrow
#Villain
The underwater businessman philosopher Andrew Ryan was BioShock's unforgettable villain.
- Tom Bissell

- Andy Biersack
#Villain
I have been doing a lot of romantic movies, so such roles don't excite me much now. I would like to play an out-and-out, really cruel villain once. My character in 'Da Thadiya' had such a streak, but I want a full length villainous role. It is a different kind of excitement.
- Nivin Pauly
#Villain
In the best works of fiction, there's no mustache-twirling villain. I try to write shows where even the bad guy's got his reasons.

- MC Ren
#Villain
In the early days, Jerry was an antagonist, which was arguably his best casting. 'The King's' quick wit is perfectly suited to be an antagonist, but at the same time, he's so funny that it is hard to hate Jerry Lawler as the villain - especially at this stage of his long career.
- Jim Ross
#Villain
My favorite Marvel villain is Doctor Doom from Fantastic Four. For DC, I think it's a popular choice, but it's the Joker.

I've been on both sides: the victim and the villain. I was the victimised model, and everything from my weight to my fertility was held up for discussion.

- Erin O'Connor
#Villain
The other thing is we have an incredible villain. And we worked very hard to have villains that are connected to the hero. They have an effect, an emotional effect. They never become out-of-this-world, crazy villains.

- Neeraj Kabi
#Villain
Actors endow the villain in fiction with a warmth and quality that makes them memorable. I think we like fictional villains because they're the Mr. Hyde of our own dreams. I've met a few real villains in my time, and they weren't the least bit sympathetic.
- John Rhys-Davies
#Villain
The villain in 'Call Me by Your Name' is the tragedy of love - what seems to be part of the deal you sign with someone when you experience an amazing time with them.
- Timothee Chalamet
#Villain
I always will be the villain, no matter what. I don't know why.
- Manny Machado
#Villain
Vampirism, for me, was a way to live in fantasy and have superpowers, but not just in a really perfect, happy, everything is great way. It's superpowers with a cost. It's having to be the villain, and what do you do about that.
- Stephenie Meyer
#Villain
You know everyone loves to be the villain.
- Hugh Grant
#Villain
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension.

- Pusha T
#Villain
Because of my flamboyant lifestyle, because of me being German, the way I am, I am the easiest person to sell as a villain. I'm the perfect target.
- Kim Dotcom
#Villain
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... there is a tradition in the most simplistic of action movies for there to be some horrible villain.
- Edward Zwick

It's a pity I have been stereotyped as a villain.
- Radha Ravi
#Villain
I've played a lot of bad guys in my time, especially in movies. It's delightful playing the villain. It's almost the most interesting and most complicated role in a film.
- Steven Berkoff
#Villain
Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary.
- Joss Whedon
#Villain
What's great about 'The Avengers' is that it's the next step. It's not just superhero fights super-villain and superhero wins. It's about superheroes that come together and interact. It's a clash of the egos. You could do 'Avengers 1' without a villain, just with all these guys coming together. They could sit down and just have a discussion.
- Louis Leterrier
#Villain
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.
- Alan Furst
#Villain
If you are Black or Brown, or a liberal or immigrant or Democrat, or a woman unwilling to quietly submit, then Ailes was the ultimate villain. You were the object of mockery and scorn - sometimes overt, often subtle. You were the thing to be gawked at, pawed at, jeered at, propositioned or feared.
- Joy Reid
#Villain
I don't think playing a villain is my greatest talent.
- Sam Waterston
#Villain
Thanos is undoubtedly the most powerful entity and villain the world has ever seen - he is virtually indestructible. Imagine a villain so menacing that all the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and their allies have to come together in a hope to defeat this one guy; such characters come to you once in a lifetime!
- Rana Daggubati
#Villain
When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake.
- James Marsters

I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.
- Judd Nelson

I am no more solely counted for comic or villain roles, which comes more often in mainstream, masala films.
- Saswata Chatterjee
#Villain
If I play a villain, I try to find his lightness and his good side. And if I play a hero or a good guy, I'll try to find his darkness or his flaws. Because I don't believe in good and evil. I believe in grays.
- Joel Kinnaman
#Villain
I get a lot of people saying to me, 'Oh, you're the actor who plays the nutters,' and I'm not. 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.
- Eddie Marsan
#Villain
So, I'm thinking of a name for a villain that has a sense of humor. I thought of 'The Joker' as a name, and as soon as I thought that, I associate it with the playing card, as my family had a tradition of champion playing; my brother was a contract champion bridge player. There were always cards around the house.
- Jerry Robinson
