"I was never a villain on the stage.……" — Conrad Veidt

"I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn't until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain."

— Conrad Veidt
