I think all men when they get older, they look at the mirror and they probably see their father a little bit.

More quotes by Christopher Walken
I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.
Christopher Walken
My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
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
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
Christopher Walken
I'm in a place in my life where I get offered parts that I didn't get offered before - fathers and uncles and grandfathers and so on. And it took me a long time to get to that place, but I'm glad because it opens up new territory.
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
It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.
Christopher Walken
I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, 'I wish more people saw that' - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.
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
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 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 don't think I'd be a good director because people would ask me, you know, What is it? What's going on here? Where should I put the camera? Or, What's my motivation? And I would say, Do whatever you want!
Christopher Walken
I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.
Christopher Walken
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.
Christopher Walken
I wasn't a trained actor, I was trained in musical comedy theater, and when you do that, the audience is completely part of the thing. It's like Elizabethan theater. You play the scene, and then you turn - the audience is part of it.
Christopher Walken
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
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 was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
Christopher Walken
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.
Christopher Walken
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
Christopher Walken
