Quote

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.

All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.
Christopher Walken
Image
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken
Image
As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.
Christopher Walken
Image
There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.
Christopher Walken
Image
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
Christopher Walken
Image
It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.
Christopher Walken
Image
I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.
Christopher Walken
Image
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.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.
Christopher Walken
Image
I think the fact that I was raised in show business, in New York City, in the '50s, that's affected my personality to the point that I'm a little different.
Christopher Walken
Image
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
Image
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.

Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.

Image
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
Image
I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor it happened over time.
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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Sometimes a certain innocence is good, but not about yourself.
