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

I'd like to quit the supernatural roles and play just an interesting, down-to-earth person.

People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.

There was no male vampire type in existence. Someone suggested an actor of the Continental School who could play any type, and mentioned me.

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

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

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.
