I really connect with every character that I’ve played, just because I kinda have to; as an actor, you want to take them in and get to know them and like them; because they’re evil, you kinda have to like them so that you can understand them and play them and play them with some kind of empathy. – Doug Jones
Communism was something so hideous that you had to be an exceptional conformist or a fool not to see the evil around you. – Donald Tusk

I watched him, and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing – a beautiful, evil thing. – Nick Cave

It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion.
