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
There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.
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.

I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor it happened over time.
Christopher Walken
I don't play lovers. I wish I did. At least once I'd like to have a crack at one of those guys. A heartbreaker. Some people are born to it. I'm not.
Christopher Walken
I grew up in the '50s, in New York City, where television was born. There were 90 live shows every week, and they used a lot of kids. There were schools just for these kids. There was a whole world that doesn't exist anymore.
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
People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.
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
Well, I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.
Christopher Walken
I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.
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
Morning is the best time to see movies.
Christopher Walken
Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.
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
Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious.
