More quotes by 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
It's a band singing on how metal should be played, the effect it has on the band and its listeners.
Christopher Lee
To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old.
Christopher Lee
I was once asked what I thought was the most disquieting thing you could see on the screen and I said, An open door.
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
The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people, to present them with something they didn't expect.
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
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
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
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
If I had any deadly secrets, I wouldn't still be alive.
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
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
People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film.
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 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 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
In Britain, any degree of success is met with envy and resentment.
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
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.
