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

More quotes by Christopher Walken
My hair was famous before I was.
Christopher Walken
Well, I don't play heroes obviously. I never played the guy who gets the girl. It might be interesting to do a part where I was a father in a functional family.
Christopher Walken
Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?
Christopher Walken
I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.
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
My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
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
Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.
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 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'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 got [Muhammad Ali's boxing shorts] for $40 at an auction. Nobody wanted them. I have them framed in my house.
Christopher Walken
I play a lot of, maybe a little bit, cartoonish people. I've been a Bond villain, and I play a lot of villains, people who want to take over something.
Christopher Walken
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Christopher Walken
I get a lot of invitations, and sometimes it's far away, it's in Montana or something. We'd like you to come to our daughter's wedding. These are people I've never heard of. I get a lot that. Will you come to my son's graduation? No...I guess when you're in stuff, it's almost a feeling that they know you.
Christopher Walken
You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.
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
Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.
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
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
