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.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.
Christopher Walken
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
Christopher Walken
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.
Christopher Walken
I got [Muhammad Ali's boxing shorts] for $40 at an auction. Nobody wanted them. I have them framed in my house.
Christopher Walken
Too many young actors are strutting about and doing films without having developed some of the depth you need to bring off certain kinds of roles. I think that's the problem with the system, where a lot of younger actors who haven't had a chance to develop suddenly become stars.
Christopher Walken
I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.
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
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 love spaghetti. And I like to cook spaghetti. And I used to eat it every day. I weighed thirty pounds more than I do now. You can't - you can't do that.
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.
Christopher Walken
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
Christopher Walken
I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.
Christopher Walken
Morning is the best time to see movies.
Christopher Walken
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Christopher Walken
It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.
Christopher Walken
Both my parents had heavy accents, and so did everybody they knew. It's a rhythm thing - people who speak English where they have to hesitate and think of the right word. And I think it rubbed off.
Christopher Walken
All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.
Christopher Walken
I have this theory about words. There's a thousand ways to say Pass the salt. It could mean, you know, Can I have some salt? or it could mean, I love you.. It could mean, I'm very annoyed with you. Really, the list could go on and on. Words are little bombs, and they have a lot of energy inside them.
Christopher Walken
Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.
