“I think everybody likes to play the villain. They're always much more ...” — Maria Doyle Kennedy Quote

I think everybody likes to play the villain. They're always much more interesting characters.

Sometimes, when you are not feeling really good is when you tend to write songs because you are internalising everything, and you are examining your thought process, and you are quieter and quite still, so it is when you write things down.

There's always been trying at some stage to design people. And it will always be presented initially as a positive thing, as a way to weed out diseases. Of course you know it ultimately will be used in a bad way too, to create slaves or servants.

I didn't go to drama school or anything, and I learned on the job. And it's nice to have the chance to pretend to be other people. As a singer, though, I feel there's much more of me in that. I've written the songs, I'm singing them, I'm exposing my feelings.

I want to have a lengthy career. I want to play interesting characters. I want to tell beautiful stories, complex stories, deep stories.

Some of the most interesting characters in literature and in movies and TV have been ones that you can't quite figure out all the way.

I like playing complex, interesting characters. Sometimes I don't think there's much of a strong line between right and wrong for a character. Every character is somewhere on a moral spectrum.

All you ever want as an actor is to play psychologically complex, interesting characters and Jeremy Bamber is at the very least that.
