More quotes by 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 nothing to do with comics. I know nothing about comics. I am aware of the importance of comics, but they're not within my world. Not because I feel that I'm above it, but just that micro-surgery is not in my world either. Is that a deficit or is that an advantage?
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 think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.
Christoph Waltz
What I liked so much while shooting [a movie], I might not like anymore when I see it or vice versa. The two are connected but not on a causal level.
Christoph Waltz
The villain is usually the most interesting part. But it has to be a smart thing. Just dumb cliché villains with a Russian accent and big muscles and a mean face, I don’t know. My Russian accent isn’t that great, and the muscles aren’t that big and the mean face is not enough. You know what I mean? It gets very boring. Tedious stuff.
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
Stephen Sondheim I am in awe of.
Christoph Waltz
You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.
Christoph Waltz
You need the villain. If you don't have a villain, the good guy can stay home.
Christoph Waltz
You can't always do the extraordinary, in between you have to do the ordinary. Because if you didn't, what would constitute the extraordinary?
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
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
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
You're always being cast for what you've been in last.
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
If the shoe fits, you must wear it.
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
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
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.
