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

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

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.

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

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

I've been using narcotics for 20 years.
