I've been to Chicago a lot - it's one of my favorite places. My wife is from Chicago, and I worked in the theater there a lot.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
If I show somebody something that I've written and they say, Eh...alright, I just put it away and I never show it to anyone again. But I know people who won't take no for an answer, and eventually someone pays attention.
Christopher Walken
There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.
Christopher Walken
In the theater you rehearse in order to do the performance. And in the movies the rehearsal and the performance are kind of the same thing. You're figuring it out and hopefully the camera is pointed at you when you're doing it.
Christopher Walken
One of the difficult things about being an actor is to stick around.
Christopher Walken
It's very bizarre though when you get hired and then the director will say, I know how this goes. And you're thinking, Wait a minute, I thought that I was doing this but basically what they really want, especially if they wrote it, is they want you to do it as they imagined it. It's virtually impossible.
Christopher Walken
I like to stand in my kitchen with the script on a counter that's about chest high. Usually I do something else at the same time - make a chicken or slice vegetables - and all day long I just read it over and over and over.
Christopher Walken
I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.
Christopher Walken
I think all men when they get older, they look at the mirror and they probably see their father a little bit.
Christopher Walken
My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life.
Christopher Walken
There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.
Christopher Walken
When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did that. It is true. But it's not like you think. There was a guy, he had his own circus. His name was Carol Jacobs and he owned it. It was a small thing.
Christopher Walken
It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.
Christopher Walken
I grew up listening to people speaking broken English. I probably picked that up. And I probably speak English almost as a second language.
Christopher Walken
People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.
Christopher Walken
I don't like flying at the best of times. And as I get older, I like it less and less. I don't much like driving, either. I prefer to be driven. And, when I'm in London, I don't even like walking on the street. I can never get used to looking the right way when I cross the street.
Christopher Walken
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
Christopher Walken
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
Christopher Walken
I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.
Christopher Walken
I became an actor by accident. I suppose I figured since I was in musical comedy from the time I was a teenager, I suppose I figured that I'd always been in that world to some extent.
Christopher Walken
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
