More quotes by Christopher Walken
I don't think I'd be a good director because people would ask me, you know, What is it? What's going on here? Where should I put the camera? Or, What's my motivation? And I would say, Do whatever you want!
Christopher Walken
I play disturbed people a lot, but always with a bit of distance or tongue-in-cheek. Most of the villains I play are essentially harmless.
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
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
Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.
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
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
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 think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.
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
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'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.
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 true in most movies I don't use my own voice.
Christopher Walken
As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.
Christopher Walken
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
Christopher Walken
I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.
Christopher Walken
It's interesting - a lot of good actors are good mimes. But I'm terrible. If I tried to do an impression, nobody would know what I was doing.
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.
