I tell people all the time, 'Don't give up.' We get almost to our blessing, whether you believe spiritually in God or in a good force and an evil force. We get almost to our blessing, and we quit. Don't stop.
All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

There is just as much evil in all of us as there is good. We're all continuously guilty, even if we're not doing it intentionally to be evil.

I think what's exciting about playing a villain - particularly a villain who's totally unapologetic about their evil intentions - is that it's not anything remotely like what you get to do in real life. You're never allowed to be evil and not feel bad about it afterwards, let alone be evil, period.
