Quote by Gabrielle Union
I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood, you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say, and channel that through your character.
Summary
This quote suggests that the person identifying with villain-type characters is driven by the desire to freely express themselves. As actors in Hollywood often have to filter their thoughts and opinions, playing such roles allows them to unleash the words they wish they could say in real life. By channeling their experiences of feeling restricted, they can find a cathartic outlet through their characters, utilizing them as vessels to voice their true thoughts and emotions. This exploration of suppressed self-expression adds an element of fascination to playing these roles.
