Death, the final, triumphant lover.

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

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage.

It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.

I have played Dracula a thousand times on stage and I find I have become thoroughly settled in the technique of the stage and not of the screen.

In Hungary, acting is a profession. In America, it is a decision.

It is women who bear the race in bloody agony. Suffering is a kind of horror. Blood is a kind of horror. Women are born with horror in their very bloodstream. It is a biological thing.
