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

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

In the studio the director controls the actor's every move, every inflection, every expression.

Supernatural perhaps...baloney, perhaps not!

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.

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

I'll be truthful. The weekly paycheck is the most important thing to me.
