By the time I was 7, I did walk-ons, catalogue modeling, you name it. In the Queens where I grew up, you didn't go bowling on Saturday you went to dancing school.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
My background is in musical comedy.
Christopher Walken
My hair was famous before I was.
Christopher Walken
I feel like you are this or that because other people say so. I wouldn't know how to play a psychopath. I don't think about it that way. You think about playing the scene but if the other people say that guy is crazy, then you are.
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
Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.
Christopher Walken
I've made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom.
Christopher Walken
I have this theory about words. There's a thousand ways to say Pass the salt. It could mean, you know, Can I have some salt? or it could mean, I love you.. It could mean, I'm very annoyed with you. Really, the list could go on and on. Words are little bombs, and they have a lot of energy inside them.
Christopher Walken
All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.
Christopher Walken
I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.
Christopher Walken
I love spaghetti. And I like to cook spaghetti. And I used to eat it every day. I weighed thirty pounds more than I do now. You can't - you can't do that.
Christopher Walken
I've always been a character actor, although I'm not quite sure what that means. All my scripts are absolutely covered in notes, so any time I say anything - even 'pass the salt' - I have six subtexts, comments on what I really mean when I'm saying that. Maybe that's what gives the impression that I'm saying one thing and thinking something else.
Christopher Walken
I'd love to do a character with a wife, a nice little house, a couple of kids, a dog, maybe a bit of singing, and no guns and no killing, but nobody offers me those kind of parts.
Christopher Walken
If you do movies that are modestly budgeted, the way they finance them is they figure out how they can sell them.
Christopher Walken
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
Christopher Walken
There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.
Christopher Walken
I think the fact that I grew up in show business had a real effect on my personality. If you were born in New York during the golden age of television, and you grew up on Broadway, that marks you.
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 have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.
Christopher Walken
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
I think all men when they get older, they look at the mirror and they probably see their father a little bit.
