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.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
Onstage I have a natural chutzpa that audiences like. I'm out there.
Christopher Walken
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
Christopher Walken
I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
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
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
The thing about cooking is it's so interesting to watch. I don't know why, but if you go to somebody's house and they're making something, they usually say interesting things while they're cooking.
Christopher Walken
My father was a lesson. He had his own bakery, and it was closed one day a week, but he would go anyway. He did it because he really loved his bakery. It wasn't a job.
Christopher Walken
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.
Christopher Walken
There are places I don't want to go. Making movies on tops of mountains, in the desert, playing scenes while icy torrents of rivers rush by. The jungle. It's very uncomfortable.
Christopher Walken
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
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
You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.
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
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
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.
Christopher Walken
I know that whenever I think about death, I come up against a stone wall.
Christopher Walken
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.
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.
