No villain thinks of himself as a villain, and that's the approach I always take.
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
Powerful people are always in charge. You have to acknowledge that and deal with it as a reality. They're not devils. They're not monsters. They're human beings, like us, that have their share of insecurities and fears. You have to contemplate that as you go through life.
Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
