Actors were exploited no less by the capitalist managers than they were by the state.

If you are not serious, people will sense it.

I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession.

The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.

I'll take any story if it's good.

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.

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