You know, I've had an incredible career and I'm blessed.

My favorite actor who played villains - who could play anything, really - was Jimmy Cagney.

I am a professional actor and I don't go about moralizing about what the character does. Otherwise, seriously, why be an actor? You're not making some kind of social statement. That's not what actors do. They may inadvertently do it, but it's because of the script, not the acting.

I like to razz the Trekkies a little bit. Who doesn't? It's trainspotting, isn't it? But they are very well-meaning, actually. I've done a couple of Star Trek conventions, and they've only been really welcoming.

The thing is, I've never been a handsome leading-man type, so let's not kid ourselves.

If you look a little punkish, then they’re going to give you the parts. And if you play an iconic villain early on in your career, you tend to get asked to play one over and over and over again.

It's always a fascinating subject - a serial killer let loose on a small community. It always holds, it's always scary.
