More quotes by Christoph Waltz
Mine is studying script and being very academic and trying to be important.
Christoph Waltz
My agent is the quickest, sharpest man on earth.
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
By looking into more details of American history, we can make more sense of what's happening today.
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
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 Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.
Christoph Waltz
I don't like to read novelizations of movies.
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
You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.
Christoph Waltz
Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.
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
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
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 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
One does not contradict the other.Straight-faced is the basis of all decent comedy.
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
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'm not into weapons. I'm not into cars. I'm not into explosions. I'm scared of all of that.
Christoph Waltz
