I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
You hear about things happening to people - they slip in the bathtub, fall down the stairs, step off the curb in London because they think that the cars come the other way - and they die. You feel you want to die making an effort at something you don't want to die in some unnecessary way.
Christopher Walken
All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.
Christopher Walken
I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
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
Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?
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
It's not necessarily how many minutes you're on screen, it's the material you have. It's more important what it is you have to do than the amount of time you're there.
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 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
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
Christopher Walken
Sometimes a certain innocence is good, but not about yourself.
Christopher Walken
There are certain directors where you know you're going to be good or you're not going to be there. There are people where you kind of know that if you miss the mark then it'll probably not be in the movie and that's very reassuring.
Christopher Walken
My life is really quite conservative. I've been married nearly 50 years. I don't have hobbies or children. I don't much care to travel. I've never had a big social life. I really just stay home, except when I go to work.
Christopher Walken
In England, and all over Europe, and all over the world, actors act until they die. They get old, really old, and they're still working. They just keep doing it.
Christopher Walken
We have no way of knowing what lays ahead for us in the future. All we can do is use the information at hand to make the best decision possible.
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
I used to be prettier than I am, but I think I look better now. I was a pretty boy. Particularly in my early movies. I don’t like looking at them so much. There’s a sort of pretty thing about me.
Christopher Walken
In rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.
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.
