Zachary Quinto who plays Sylar on "Heroes" recently sat down with Rob Own from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Here is what he had to say:
Quote:
"The sad part is, he's initially well-intentioned. He wants to improve his life," Quinto said. "He wants to make a difference. He wants to matter. Through the process of realizing how to do that, he gets blinded and loses himself in the pursuit of it and goes a little crazy-- 'a little' being understatement."
The big question is "how, exactly, does Sylar absorb the powers of his victims?" Does he eat their brains, Hannibal Lecter-style?
"They haven't told me," Quinto said. "The impression I was operating under was he actually ingested them, but I don't know. It's the question I'm most often asked."
Quote:
"When Horn Rimmed Glasses (aka Claire's dad) gets me in captivity, he's kind of merciless in trying to get at the root of what I'm doing and why I'm doing what I'm doing," Quinto said of Sylar's Lecter-like incarceration. "You really see (Sylar's) anger, the darkness that comes out. I don't like being in captivity, and I don't like being overpowered."
"The stage is set for me to be around for a while," Quinto said. "I would love for it to be the rest of the season."
