The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.

In making theories, always keep a window open so that you can throw one out if necessary.

It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom.

Without movie parts I was reduced to freak status. I just couldn't stand it.

My body grew hot, then cold. I tried to eat the bed sheets. My heart beat madly. Every joint in my body ached. When I took the cure they took it all away from me.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

Every actor's greatest ambition is to create his own, definite and original role, a character with which he will always be identified. In my case, that role was Dracula.
