“If the character plays it from the spectator’s point of view — ‘I’m the mean guy, I’m gonna do mean things to you’ — it’s completely done, you won’t be interested. If you find motivations, as hidden as they might be… then the character becomes sexy. Not that the character becomes sexy, but that the character becomes truthful. To me, a truthful character becomes sexy because he has motivations you want to find out about. You just need to have them, you don’t need to show them.”
