More quotes by 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
If the shoe fits, you must wear it.
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
You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.
Christoph Waltz
I have always been so interested in film as a medium.
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
Effortless [performance] and improvisation are two different things. Just because it's improvised doesn't mean it's effortless and just because it's effortless doesn't necessarily mean it's improvised.
Christoph Waltz
By looking into more details of American history, we can make more sense of what's happening today.
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
You're always being cast for what you've been in last.
Christoph Waltz
For me, personally, there is one really interesting thing. You're all a bit too young for that, but when you get to a certain level of experience, accumulation of experience you start slowly to once in a while get a whiff of the feeling, I'd love to be twenty years younger but with what I know and have experienced at this point.
Christoph Waltz
I don't like to read novelizations of movies.
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
I had to learn how to drive a cement truck because there is a whole car chase with cement trucks, so I had to learn how to drive a cement truck. I don't like these things, but I'm not an idiot. I can do 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
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
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 don't say things straight into the other person's face. I kind of like to make a joke or a remark and make it digestible or just give a little comment that voices my concern, but is not meant to be a critique, but just a comment so that he understands that I am thinking.
Christoph Waltz
Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.
