The 65-year-old has taken on daring roles such as the evil queen in "Enchanted" and lesbian vampire Sarah Roberts in "The Hunger", reported Guardian online.
"Sure I do (love to play negative roles). Because you get to say and do things that you never in a million years would do. And very often the bad guys are written just so much better than the good guys," Sarandon said.
"If you look at Sister Helen in 'Dead Man Walking' I just walk around saying constantly, 'Let us pray' and, 'I'm sorry' - there's so much more to play when someone is evil," she added.
