You can't make people believe in you if you play a horror part with your tongue in your cheek.

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.

I don't have a dime left. I am dependent on my friends for food and a small old-age pension.

I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

Women have a predestination to suffering.

I'd like to quit the supernatural roles and play just an interesting, down-to-earth person.

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.
