More quotes by Christopher Walken
I wasn't a trained actor, I was trained in musical comedy theater, and when you do that, the audience is completely part of the thing. It's like Elizabethan theater. You play the scene, and then you turn - the audience is part of it.
Christopher Walken
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
Christopher Walken
Both my parents had heavy accents, and so did everybody they knew. It's a rhythm thing - people who speak English where they have to hesitate and think of the right word. And I think it rubbed off.
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
My hair was famous before I was.
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
A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.
Christopher Walken
My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
Christopher Walken
Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious.
Christopher Walken
I've been married for 46 years, and I live in a nice house, my grass is always cut, I pay my bills, and my cat loves me!
Christopher Walken
You know, there's nothing you can do about your public image. It is what it is. I just try to do things honestly. I guess honesty is what you would call subjective: if you feel good about what you're doing, yourself, if you figure you're doing the right thing.
Christopher Walken
Acting is a bit like being an athlete. You spend all your time getting ready to do something for two minutes. All the things that made my career in the movies happen took two or three minutes, which is the time that it takes for a 'take'. In that time, something happens. That's what people know you for, just like someone running the hundred metres.
Christopher Walken
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken
I get a lot of invitations, and sometimes it's far away, it's in Montana or something. We'd like you to come to our daughter's wedding. These are people I've never heard of. I get a lot that. Will you come to my son's graduation? No...I guess when you're in stuff, it's almost a feeling that they know you.
Christopher Walken
I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.
Christopher Walken
I have a lot of trouble with scripts. I have a lot of trouble imagining things while I'm reading them.
Christopher Walken
I play a lot of, maybe a little bit, cartoonish people. I've been a Bond villain, and I play a lot of villains, people who want to take over something.
Christopher Walken
I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor it happened over time.
Christopher Walken
I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.
Christopher Walken
I grew up in the '50s, in New York City, where television was born. There were 90 live shows every week, and they used a lot of kids. There were schools just for these kids. There was a whole world that doesn't exist anymore.
