I don't look to take the role of the villain and in fact I've played many sympathetic characters. I certainly don't want to be typecast as the 'loudmouth' type. But it seems that the audiences remember me as the bad guy. I suppose that's because villainous roles stand out -- they're showy roles. If you're going to make a sympathetic character stand out, you really have to tap dance for the viewers.
Who says acting isn't being yourself? I am not a hypocrite. I have my megalomania. There's a part of me that's still in the crib, wanting to control and rule everything. When I get into the biggest problems is when I get arrested development. I don't tell you it's someone that's not me. I mean, I think I'm weird or at least I can be. And I think I can be crazy and I can be cruel. I know it. I've seen it. I see many people deny that about themselves.
