No one thinks they're the bad guy

I can't remember where I heard it first. It's become a mantra, when writing villains. Even Hannibal Lecter thought he was making the world a better place by recycling human failures through his duodenum. Now Han is a great villain, but I prefer mine a little more grounded in reality. And pal Benoit Lelievre has worded it quite eloquently over at his blog Dead End Follies.
