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.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.
Christopher Walken
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.
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
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
For me, in movies, it's always a mixed bag. I've never made a movie where I thought, You were really good in that movie you were good all the time. No. It's always, You didn't get it, you didn't do it in that scene, but the other scene is pretty good. So I just hope that in balance there's more good scenes than not.
Christopher Walken
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
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
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
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
Morning is the best time to see movies.
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
I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
Christopher Walken
Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.
Christopher Walken
There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.
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 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
I think that sometimes when they see me in a movie they expect me to be something nasty. I mean, I play a lot of villains and you show up and they think maybe... That's why it's good to defy expectations sometimes.
Christopher Walken
I remember from when I use to be a dancer, there is an expression among dancers, I had a T-shirt that said: SHUT UP AND DANCE.
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.
