A lot of actors say that no villain wants to be a villain, generally. They don't might being evil, maybe, but they have an agenda that they can justify. Otherwise, a little bit of that tension goes, if you're just a villain and everyone hates you because you're mean.
As an actor, you never try to be someone else. You can't.
I don't like failing at anything.
People are always vulnerable when they're happy.
The body can do incredible things as long as the mind supports it.
As a younger actor, my motivation may have been 'Do you want that job or don't you?' Now it's 'Do you want to look like crap on film?'
