There was no male vampire type in existence. Someone suggested an actor of the Continental School who could play any type, and mentioned me.

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.

To win a woman, take her with you to see Dracula.

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.

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

Because of my language and the pantomime with which most Europeans accompany their speech, I was catalogued as a heavy.

Every actor is somewhat mad, or else he'd be a plumber or a bookkeeper or a salesman.
