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
My agent is the quickest, sharpest man on earth.
Christoph Waltz
Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.
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 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'm very bad with improvisation. I hate it.
Christoph Waltz
By looking into more details of American history, we can make more sense of what's happening today.
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
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
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
You're always being cast for what you've been in last.
Christoph Waltz
Ten flashing lights are a nuisance but 500 are fantastic.
Christoph Waltz
I think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.
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 need the villain. If you don't have a villain, the good guy can stay home.
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
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
What it really is and what I now have experienced is that, people who take enormous pride in what they're doing - not in their person - that their work ethos is as high as nowhere else.That they love their jobs, they love to do their jobs properly as best they can. And coupled with the financial umph, you know, you get decent results.
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
