The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.

The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.

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

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.

Martyrdom was the price of enthusiasm for acting.

I look in the mirror and say to myself, Can it be you once played Romeo?

I have lived too completely. I think I have known every human emotion.
