More quotes by Christoph Waltz
I'm not into weapons. I'm not into cars. I'm not into explosions. I'm scared of all of that.
Christoph Waltz
If I jumped into the cliché, everybody will have seen it before. If I stick to my ignorance a little bit, maybe, maybe it will turn out different. Or maybe a slightly new aspect to a comic book villain.
Christoph Waltz
Stephen Sondheim I am in awe of.
Christoph Waltz
For a while, I couldn't decide whether or not I should pursue singing in the opera or acting. And I'm glad that I chose the latter because I wasn't a very good singer.
Christoph Waltz
My agent is the quickest, sharpest man on earth.
Christoph Waltz
Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.
Christoph Waltz
It's a wonderful narrative device to bring someone from the outside and look through his eyes if you want to describe the absurdity and preposterous reality that is accepted amongst the ones who are inside.
Christoph Waltz
Mine is studying script and being very academic and trying to be important.
Christoph Waltz
You know, I don't talk about the characters that I play. Years ago, I was a little timid about it and I kind of squirmed when I was asked, 'Could you tell us something about your character.' Now with a little self-confidence that comes with the grey beard, I just flatly refuse.
Christoph Waltz
I have my brain switched on and I might be thinking something else but we've come to an arrangement. That sort of play is maybe easier with someone who also thinks that way. But that is not necessarily a national thing, but maybe a little bit of a cultural thing.
Christoph Waltz
You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.
Christoph Waltz
I'm very bad with improvisation. I hate it.
Christoph Waltz
Comedy is the result of what's happening, not what people are doing. Because if people are doing comedy. It's embarrassing. The individual elements have to be straight-faced, serious, realistic with a firm basis. What makes it comedy is a somewhat shifted way to put it together.
Christoph Waltz
That's exactly what I'm driving at. 'Basterds' was interesting because it was, in a way, unfamiliar. I thought well, OK. Let's leave the comfort zone and just risk it. Why not? Because, exactly as you said, in a way, by taking that risk, I make up a little bit for my ignorance in the subject, or rather, the genre.
Christoph Waltz
I think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.
Christoph Waltz
I go with the most interesting thing that comes my way,I don't expect it to come from India to tell you the truth, but if it did, fine by me.
Christoph Waltz
Ten flashing lights are a nuisance but 500 are fantastic.
Christoph Waltz
I have always been so interested in film as a medium.
Christoph Waltz
I'd sort of acquired somewhat more mature perspective on what my career is and I don't...not anymore...consider fame and fortune my career. I'm not a star. I'm an actor. So in a way, what I want to do as an actor, I would consider good for my career. Does that make sense?
Christoph Waltz
I think Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.
Christoph Waltz
