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.

More quotes by 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
Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way.
Christopher Walken
When I was a kid, I worked in the circus. It was a touring circus that was owned by a man named Terrell Jacobs. It was just one big tent, and he was a lion tamer. He didn't have any kids, but the bit was that I would dress up as his son in an identical outfit.
Christopher Walken
If you're an actor, a hard thing is to stick around, to stay viable. I try to do that by taking the opportunity to do something different every once in awhile.
Christopher Walken
I've been very fortunate, because I've been involved in things that very often lead to obscurity. I was in some pictures that were not successful whatsoever. I think people admire persistence. People notice that I'm still there.

If I show somebody something that I've written and they say, Eh...alright, I just put it away and I never show it to anyone again. But I know people who won't take no for an answer, and eventually someone pays attention.
Christopher Walken
It's very bizarre though when you get hired and then the director will say, I know how this goes. And you're thinking, Wait a minute, I thought that I was doing this but basically what they really want, especially if they wrote it, is they want you to do it as they imagined it. It's virtually impossible.
Christopher Walken
Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious, it's hilarious.
Christopher Walken
I grew up listening to people speaking broken English. I probably picked that up. And I probably speak English almost as a second language.
Christopher Walken
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
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
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 rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.
Christopher Walken
I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
Christopher Walken
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.
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
I have a lot of trouble with scripts. I have a lot of trouble imagining things while I'm reading them.
Christopher Walken
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
Christopher Walken
Usually directors hire me because I'm what they are looking for. But once in a while, and it's very rare, they will hire me and then try to make me over.
