Vill Quotes

It’s the first villain that I’ve played in a movie that has absolutely no vulnerability and no innocence, nothing whatsoever that is likeable about her other than she’s so bad Picture Quote #1

Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It’s been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It’s a great town Picture Quote #1

Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue Picture Quote #1

The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn pleases Picture Quote #1

With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work Picture Quote #1

I don’t necessarily find superheroes in general, for me, that appealing. I’d much prefer to play, if I was to be cast in a superhero film, I’d prefer to play the villain because there’s a reason, there’s a motive behind their madness Picture Quote #1

Under pressure, people admit to murder, setting fire to the village church or robbing a bank, but never to being bores Picture Quote #1

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn’t until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain Picture Quote #1

Jaws was still a handsome, big guy. He got the girl. He was my favorite villain. I tried to make this guy endearing somewhat because all he wanted to do was unite his country Picture Quote #1

As for an authentic villain, the real thing, the absolute, the artist, one rarely meets him even once in a lifetime. The ordinary bad hat is always in part a decent fellow Picture Quote #1

No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons Picture Quote #1

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development Picture Quote #1

To know after absence the familiar street and road and village and house is to know again the satisfaction of home Picture Quote #1

I prefer the countryside to cities. This is also true of my films: I have made more films in rural societies, and villages, than in towns Picture Quote #1

I am restless. I don’t mind leaving this comfortable, static life. I could live a year on my own in a remote village Picture Quote #1

I don’t personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction Picture Quote #1

I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain Picture Quote #1

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I’m not an obvious kind of villain Picture Quote #1

Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in the cities, but the girls stay home, become leaders in the community, and pass on what they’ve learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls Picture Quote #1

The road was frozen. The village lay quiet under the cold sky. Komako hitched up the skirt of her kimono and tucked it into her obi. The moon shone like a blade frozen in blue ice Picture Quote #1

You learn eventually that, while there are no villains, there are no heroes either. And until you make the final discovery that there are only human beings, who are therefore all the more fascinating, you are liable to miss something Picture Quote #1

A lot of people seem nice when you first meet them. Then later you find out that they are evil villains who plan to take over the world Picture Quote #1

Our civilization has fallen out of touch with night. With lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea; the little villages, the crossroads even, will have none of it. Are modern folk, perhaps, afraid of night? Do they fear that vast serenity, the mystery of infinite space, the austerity of stars? Picture Quote #1

Mrs. Bonneville never buckled her seat belt, even though it was required by state law; an ardent libertarian, she opposed government meddling in all matters of personal choice Picture Quote #1

If one chooses sides on emotion then the rebel is the guy to go with. He is fighting for everything men claim to honour, freedom, independance, truth, the right..... all the subjective illusions. All the eternal trigger words. We are minions of the villan of the piece. We confess the illusion and deny the substance Picture Quote #1

It was so much more comfortable to be able to divide people into heroes and villains and expect them to play their allotted part Picture Quote #1

The trouble with real life is that you don’t know whether you’re the hero or just some nice chap who gets bumped off in chapter five to show what a rotter the villain is without anyone minding too much Picture Quote #1

The villains are all parts of me. For years I’ve been wondering what it would be like if all those negative elements were forced onto the main character’s side. I can understand a character with that kind of anger Picture Quote #1

I remember that I stood on the library steps holding my books and looking for a minute at the soft hinted green in the branches against the sky and wishing, as I always did, that I could walk home across the sky instead of through the village Picture Quote #1

The name of the author is the first to go followed obediently by the title, the plot, the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of, as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain, to a little fishing village where there are no phones Picture Quote #1
