I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession.

To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious.

Without movie parts I was reduced to freak status. I just couldn't stand it.

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 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.

The actor depends wholly on himself. He gives his performance in what, to him, seems the most effective manner.

Supernatural perhaps...baloney, perhaps not!
