Christopher Walken quotes - page 4

I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen. (Christopher Walken)

When you're onstage and you know you're bombing, that's very, very scary. Because you know you gotta keep going - you're bombing, but you can't stop.

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 don't much like being directed. I enjoy being allowed to play.

Christopher Walken

I play disturbed people a lot, but always with a bit of distance or tongue-in-cheek. Most of the villains I play are essentially harmless.

Christopher Walken

I have always refused to do something that has offended me. I have been offered potential roles that are totally vulgar.

Christopher Walken

I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.

Christopher Walken

I'll tell you, Quentin Tarantino really writes the most amazing dialogue.

Christopher Walken

As an actor I'm rather hit and miss, I throw a lot out there, and some of it works and some of it doesn't. But this is a nice part.

Christopher Walken

I grew up listening to people speaking broken English. I probably picked that up. And I probably speak English almost as a second language.

Christopher Walken

To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not. (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 don't have a lot of hobbies. I don't play golf. I don't have any children. Things that occupy people's time. I just try to take jobs.

Christopher Walken

I'm not sure I'd write a good cookbook, but I might make a good cooking show.

Christopher Walken

Somebody said to me that I speak English almost like somebody for whom English is not their first language.

Christopher Walken

Is typecasting really a problem?

Christopher Walken

My background is in musical comedy. I didn't know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff.

Christopher Walken

My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen.

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 come from a part of New York that was almost entirely immigrants. I was born in America, but all of my friends' parents, everybody's parents, including my own, had come to America from Europe.

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 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 certainly have never been an actor who can play the Everyman guy - or, I don't tend to get those parts. I've tended to play eccentrics. I've played a lot of villains, of course.

Christopher Walken

There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.

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.
