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.

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

Death, the final, triumphant lover.

That is different, to have someone think that I am evil when I really am not.

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

The screen magnifies everything, even the way you are thinking.

I look in the mirror and say to myself, Can it be you once played Romeo?
