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

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

I'll take any story if it's good.

If you are not serious, people will sense it.

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

It is women who bear the race in bloody agony. Suffering is a kind of horror. Blood is a kind of horror. Women are born with horror in their very bloodstream. It is a biological thing.

People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.
