More quotes by Christopher Lee
In Britain, any degree of success is met with envy and resentment.
Christopher Lee
I haven't spent my entire career playing the guy in the bad hat, although I have to say that the bad guy is frequently much more interesting than the good guy.
Christopher Lee
I'm much softer than people think. I don't present to the world an emotional face. I'm pretty good at self-control, but I am easily moved.
Christopher Lee
Acting as a profession came to me by chance: in 1946, after the war, I was having lunch with my cousin, who was the Italian ambassador, and he asked, 'What are you going to do now you're out of uniform?' I said, 'I'm pretty inventive, and I can imitate people,' and he said, 'Have you thought about being an actor?'
Christopher Lee
If I had any deadly secrets, I wouldn't still be alive.
Christopher Lee
I wasn't a spy. I'd have been spotted in five seconds. Yes, I was in intelligence, but that covered a multitude of things.
Christopher Lee
Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean, really, it was half-witted.
Christopher Lee
The saddest country I went to was Romania, years ago, during Ceausescu's rule.
Christopher Lee
When the Second World War finished, I was 23 and already I had seen enough horror to last me a lifetime. I'd seen dreadful, dreadful things, without saying a word. Seeing horror depicted on film doesn't affect me much.
Christopher Lee
Films are now made by accountants. They pick a pretty young female or male face out of the air and give them a part - not because they think that person is right for it or is ready for it, but because they think that person will make them money.
Christopher Lee
What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too.
Christopher Lee
The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.
Christopher Lee
I was always fascinated by fairy stories, fantasy, you know, demons, necromancers, gods and goddesses, everything that is out of our kin and out of our everyday world. I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am.
Christopher Lee
The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people, to present them with something they didn't expect.
Christopher Lee
I did radio, I did television, I did opera, I did films in which I had very, very little to say. But I had a lot of experience in front of the camera, and that's what really counts.
Christopher Lee
I've seen many men die right in front of me - so many in fact that I've become almost hardened to it. Having seen the worst that human beings can do to each other, the results of torture, mutilation and seeing someone blown to pieces by a bomb, you develop a kind of shell. But you had to. You had to. Otherwise, we would never have won.
Christopher Lee
Making films has never just been a job to me, it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going, it's what I do, it gives life purpose.
Christopher Lee
I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.
Christopher Lee
It's a band singing on how metal should be played, the effect it has on the band and its listeners.
Christopher Lee
I thought that people should know about the dangers of Satanism, and diabolism does exist - there's no question about it.
Christopher Lee
