I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

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

Circumstances made me the theatrical personality I am, which many people believe is also a part of my personal life.

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

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 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 never play without my cape.
