Now let’s remind ourselves why Cruella is Disney’s ultimate Disney villain, shall we?
Who is Cruella de Vil?
Cruella de Vil is the primary antagonist in the 101 Dalmatians books and movies.
She’s completely fashion-obsessed, but she’s also cunning, eccentric, and incredibly successful.
Although she doesn’t murder anyone during the movies, her insanity and obsession with fur coats drive her to commit seriously immoral acts.
She first appeared in the Disney animation 101 Dalmatians in 1961, but she was so popular that she appeared in several other flicks throughout the years.

Evil Cruella de Vil Quotes
Cruella comes out with some seriously quippy lines in every movie she appears in.
But some of the most famous Cruella de Vil quotes are – well, cruel.
She has become one of the most hated (yet beloved!) Disney villains around as she’s almost unbelievably evil in her pursuit of fashion.
Cruella famously tries to take away the Dalmatian puppies as early as possible, and she cannot believe it when Roger refuses to sell the puppies.
This exchange leads to a legendary outburst which I always revisit when I’m feeling fired up.
Feel free to watch this incredible scene below!
“Fifteen. Fifteen puppies! How marvelous! How marvelous! How perfectly ugh! Oh, the devil takes it, they’re mongrels! No spots! No spots at all! What a horrid little white rat!”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“All right. Keep the little beasts. Do what you like with them. Drown them, for all I care. You’re a fool, Anita! I have no use for fools. You’re fired, you’re finished, you’ll never work in fashion again! I’m through with all of you! I’ll get even! Just wait. You’ll be sorry. You fools! You idiots!”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“Any way you want. Poison them, drown them, bash them on the head. Got any chloroform? I don’t care how you kill the little beasts, just do it, and do it now!”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“When can the puppies leave their mother? Two weeks? Three weeks?”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“Sweet, simple Anita! I know, I know! This horrid little house is your dream castle! And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad!”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“Anita don’t be ridiculous. You can’t possibly afford to keep them. You can scarcely afford to feed yourselves.”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
“Oh no, you don’t! We’ll find the little mongrels if it takes till next Christmas. Now get going! And watch your driving you imbeciles, do you want to get nabbed by the police?”
101 Dalmatians (1961)
Funny Cruella de Vil Quotes
Although Cruella is certainly an evil character, she does have a way with words.
When she’s not spewing hatred at Jasper, Horace, Anita, Roger, or the puppies, she’s actually saying some quite hilarious things.

Cruella de Vil Quotes From the 2021 Movie
If you’re a fan of the latest movie released in 2021, then you’ll adore these Cruella de Vil quotes that explain her villainous backstory.
The film is fascinating, as it showcases an entirely different side to this character that we don’t get to see in the 101 Dalmatians movies.
I won’t give away the plot, but this film certainly provides some backstory about how Cruella becomes a puppy-murdering maniac.
“From the very beginning, I’ve always made a statement. Not everyone appreciated that, but I wasn’t for everyone.”
“I want to make art, Artie. And I want to make trouble. You in?”
“I’m not sweet Estella, try as I might I never was. I’m Cruella, born brilliant, born bad, and a little bit mad.”
“Anita Darling, my darling.”
“Being a genius is one thing. Raising a genius, however, does come with its challenges.”
“From an early age, I realized I saw the world differently than everyone else.”
“They say there are five stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Well, I’d like to add one more – revenge.”
“That necklace is the reason I’m dead.”
“Don’t worry, we’re just getting started. There are lots more bad things coming, I promise.”
“Cruella was in a box a long time, now Estella can be the one who makes guest appearances!”
Anyway, must dash. Much to avenge, revenge, and destroy.
Darling, if I’m going to need to repeat myself a lot, this isn’t going to work out.
How does the saying go? I am woman, hear me roar.
It’s funny how those happy accidents can change the whole direction of your life.
Wreaking havoc at galas is my personal specialty.
A well-cut skirt is a lifesaver, girls. Remember that.
The good thing about evil people is you can always trust them to do something, well, evil.
