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.

The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.

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 have lived too completely. I think I have known every human emotion.

I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

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.

To portray a maniac offers a compelling challenge.
