Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.
Christopher Walken
Image
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.

Image
I don't play lovers. I wish I did. At least once I'd like to have a crack at one of those guys. A heartbreaker. Some people are born to it. I'm not.
Christopher Walken
Image
Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.
Christopher Walken
Image
Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.
Christopher Walken
Image
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
Image
Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.
Christopher Walken
Image
I've made one or two movies that I haven't even seen, because they were never released. I have made things that I never even saw. But I will always go see the movie I'm in.

It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken

It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.

Image
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.

I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.
Christopher Walken
Image
Well, I don't play heroes obviously. I never played the guy who gets the girl. It might be interesting to do a part where I was a father in a functional family.

Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.
Christopher Walken
Image
I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.
Christopher Walken
Image
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
Image
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.

I've been to Chicago a lot - it's one of my favorite places. My wife is from Chicago, and I worked in the theater there a lot.
Christopher Walken
Image
I became an actor by accident. I suppose I figured since I was in musical comedy from the time I was a teenager, I suppose I figured that I'd always been in that world to some extent.

I do like to work. Some jobs are better than others. That's the thing: You really don't know. I've enjoyed making movies for lots of different reasons. Sometimes, it was the other people. Sometimes, it was the fact that I was really good in it. Sometimes, it was the location. Sometimes, it was the paycheck.
