Christopher Walken Quotes

I come from a show-business family, so wanting to become an actor never crossed my mind. It was just a part of my life Picture Quote #1

I want to make movies on a soundstage. They close the door and it’s nighttime, daytime. If it has to rain, they make the rain. That’s what I like Picture Quote #1

I remember from when I use to be a dancer, there is an expression among dancers, I had a T-shirt that said: SHUT UP AND DANCE Picture Quote #1

I think the fact that I was raised in show business, in New York City, in the 50s, that’s affected my personality to the point that I’m a little different Picture Quote #1

I make up different names for my cat all the time - Flapjack, Bowtie, Popcorn. But he’s really, Hey you, cat Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You know, there’s nothing you can do about your public image. It is what it is. I just try to do things honestly. I guess honesty is what you would call subjective: if you feel good about what you’re doing, yourself, if you figure you’re doing the right thing Picture Quote #1

Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have Picture Quote #1

In the theater you rehearse in order to do the performance. And in the movies the rehearsal and the performance are kind of the same thing. You’re figuring it out and hopefully the camera is pointed at you when you’re doing it Picture Quote #1

You never forget how to dance. It’s just a matter of your bones working and things like that Picture Quote #1

I’ve made movies that I thought were good. 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 Picture Quote #1

I look for good possibilities in movies. I don’t look for perfection Picture Quote #1

Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He’s the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that Picture Quote #1

I like cats a lot. I’ve always liked cats. They’re great company. When they eat, they always leave a little bit at the bottom of the bowl. A dog will polish the bowl, but a cat always leaves a little bit. It’s like an offering Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, my parents gave me piano lessons and guitar lessons for a while, but I was never very good at it. I have big, sort of awkward hands. It’s hard to keep going when you don’t get any better Picture Quote #1

I don’t even like holding them. Whenever I hold a gun, I want to get it out of my hand as quick as possible Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made Picture Quote #1

I look for good possibilities in movies. I don’t look for perfection Picture Quote #1

Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious Picture Quote #1

My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies Picture Quote #1

I don’t need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own Picture Quote #1

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared Picture Quote #1

I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business Picture Quote #1

I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I believe in saving money. I believe in having a house. I believe in keeping things clean. I believe in exercising. Slow and steady is a very good thing for me. It works for me Picture Quote #1

I think it’s sort of a compliment. Jay Mohr does it in front of me all the time. I’ve got another friend who does me on his answering machine. When I call him, I hear myself Picture Quote #1

I think that my strength as a villain is that the people watching me know that Chris knows that he’s in a movie. He’s playing. He’s having fun. He’s going bang, bang. You know, what’s that? Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of trouble with scripts. I have a lot of trouble imagining things while I’m reading them Picture Quote #1

Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It’s very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don’t have to think about them Picture Quote #1
