Christopher walken

People think that my favorite roles to do are villains, but I find comedy to be the most challenging and rewarding.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.

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

I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre, and that's really where my training is.

I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.

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?

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.

I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

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