Psychopathic

Jeff Bridges

American Actor

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.

Robert D. Hare

Canadian Psychologist

There are certainly more people in the business world who would score high in the psychopathic dimension than in the general population. You'll find them in any organization where, by the nature of one's position, you have power and control over other people and the opportunity to get something.

Jon Ronson

Welsh Journalist

There's definitely evidence that capitalism at its most ruthless rewards psychopathic behavior. When you look at the worst corners of the American health insurance industry or the sub-prime banking market, it really feels like the more psychopathically someone behaves, the more it's rewarded.

Peter Lorre

Terrible letters came to me. Letters from strange people; people whom I never believed lived in the world; depraved and distorted minds, thinking they saw in me the perfect companion, a fellow psychopathic.

Alexei Sayle

British Comedian

Americans have different ways of saying things. They say 'elevator', we say 'lift'... they say 'President', we say 'stupid psychopathic git.

Antonio Banderas

Spanish Actor

As an actor, when you encounter a psychopathic personality, you naturally want to make him 'bigger than life,' as the Americans say.

Christopher Hitchens

American Author

I used to wish there was a useful term for those of us who thought American power should be used to remove psychopathic dictators.

Billy Burke

American Actor

Most evil characters, if they're not psychopathic, they become that way because they believe in what they're doing.
