Christopher Lee

“Making films has never just been a job to me, it is my life.”

“The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people.”

“I don't play villains, I play people.”

“I'm much softer than people think. I don't present to the world an emotional face. I'm pretty good at self-control, but I am easily moved.”

“I think that the obsession with youth is a corrupting thing.”

“To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old.”

“One should try anything he can in his career. Except folk dance and incest.”

“The most important thing for an actor is to observe.”

“I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.”

“Every actor has to make terrible films from time to time.”

“What's the point of sitting around when you can be doing something?”

“Longevity is the key.”

“An actor has to be a bit of a chameleon.”

“I've always been drawn to the darker side. I'm not a goody-goody.”
