Colin O'Donoghue Quotations

Part of what I like about the best villains in TV and film is when you feel sorry for them, and that makes you feel even worse for feeling guilty about wanting them to succeed, in some way.

I was always kind of serious. It's nice to be able to play a complete bad boy who's the polar opposite to who I am.

Not to belittle what we do as actors, but my wife Helen is a teacher, and she makes a real difference to kids. So, it's unusual to see people thinking of us as something special.

How do you try to play 'Captain Hook' better than, or as well as, Dustin Hoffman? You can't. It's perfection.

I grew up watching movies and being amazed at the animatronics you'd see in stuff like 'The Dark Crystal,' and all those kinds of movies. So, I'm always enthralled with how they can make it all work, behind the scenes, with the visual effects.

When I was younger, I was hopefully going to do animation and special effects.

There are three versions of the hook. There's one that's solid metal and it's really heavy. It's sharp. It's not super sharp but it has a point, and because of the weight you could do some serious damage with it. And then there's an aluminium one which is a bit lighter, and then there's a rubber one for if you're to do stunts or there's any danger of cutting someone. Although sometimes I like to switch it out! It's the perfect coffee cup holder - it's literally the exact size. And if you've only got one hand and you're holding some food, it's great to put it on.

I use the hook to carry coffee.
