When a film company is in the red they come to me. Always it is the same.

I guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all, but, to tell you the truth, I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.

Martyrdom was the price of enthusiasm for acting.

It is women who love horror. Gloat over it. Feed on it. Are nourished by it. Shudder and cling and cry out-and come back for more.

I never play without my cape.

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.

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