It is more fascinating as an actor, I think, to empathize with someone deeply faulted and wrong, to try and find your way into why they are doing these things. [Playing] a guy who is doing all the right things and is driven by being good, it\u2019s harder to do that. And I think people who do it successfully, who play classically heroic roles, are very talented actors.
