More quotes by 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
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
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
We don't always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not.
Christopher Lee
You can learn Elvish, if you want. It's a language like Italian and English. You can learn to read it, you can learn to write it, and you can learn to speak it.
Christopher Lee
I don't play long parts. They must be short parts, but they've got to be parts that mean something, that matter, where people will notice when I'm on the screen, and people will remember the character after they've seen the film.
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
I thought that people should know about the dangers of Satanism, and diabolism does exist - there's no question about it.
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
In Britain, any degree of success is met with envy and resentment.
Christopher Lee
People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film.
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
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
The saddest country I went to was Romania, years ago, during Ceausescu's rule.
Christopher Lee
When I first read Lord of the Rings I wanted to see a film of it. But at that time the technology wasn't there, there was no such thing as CGI.
Christopher Lee
I think that - apart from the fields of science and medicine - we live in an age of decline. Look at the world. There is decline in morals, ideals, manners, respect, truthfulness: just about everything, in fact.
Christopher Lee
I lived for 10 years in Los Angeles, and the one element that surpasses everything else - that you are very conscious of - is fear. You can smell it.
Christopher Lee
As far as I am concerned, Don Quixote is the most metal fictional character that I know. Single handed, he is trying to change the world, regardless of any personal consequences.
Christopher Lee
If I had any deadly secrets, I wouldn't still be alive.
Christopher Lee
I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.
