More quotes by 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'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.
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
There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.
Christopher Walken
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.
Christopher Walken
I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.
Christopher Walken
I'm a better actor now than I ever was, I wish I could have hurried that up, but there's no way. Anyway, I always wanted to be around for a long time. Like a European actor, I hope I live a long time and that I'm acting until I finish.
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
I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.
Christopher Walken
I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.
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
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
Christopher Walken
I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.
Christopher Walken
I've been married for 46 years, and I live in a nice house, my grass is always cut, I pay my bills, and my cat loves me!
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
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
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 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
It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.
Christopher Walken
I think all men when they get older, they look at the mirror and they probably see their father a little bit.
