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 never play without my cape.

The former ruling class kept the community of actors in ignorance by means of various lies.

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.

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage.

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

The screen magnifies everything, even the way you are thinking.
