More quotes by Christopher Lee
If I had any deadly secrets, I wouldn't still be alive.
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'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 associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.
Christopher Lee
People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film.
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
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
I thought that people should know about the dangers of Satanism, and diabolism does exist - there's no question about it.
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
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
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
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
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
In Britain, any degree of success is met with envy and resentment.
Christopher Lee
The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people, to present them with something they didn't expect.
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
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 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
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
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
