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.

More quotes by 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 saddest country I went to was Romania, years ago, during Ceausescu's rule.
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
To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old.
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
Peter Jackson's instincts are extraordinary, as is his stamina.
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
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 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
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 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
If I had any deadly secrets, I wouldn't still be alive.
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
People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film.
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
In Britain, any degree of success is met with envy and resentment.
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
It's a band singing on how metal should be played, the effect it has on the band and its listeners.
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'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
