That could be, but I also have to say as someone who has done it in VO roles that it is a lot of fun to play a villain because you get away with chewing a lot more scenery and your character is either so broadly-written that you can have fun with the broad choices or so complex that you have make a lot of fun with the details. And I know I personally have never played a role in between. I don’t know that the former really requires empathy, but you can still be hated for your roles when you play the former all the time.
I imagine at her level, which I was nowhere near, she got to have fun playing the complex villain whenever she wanted after that Oscar. And if I had her talent, I would too.

Won’t ask about roles or anything, but can you say what your favorite character was? Like, in a non identifying way?
