There are many vampires in the world today - you only have to think of the film business.

I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.

What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too.

Acting is like a snowstorm or perhaps a large empty vacuum. I`m not deluded by the fact that I'm getting all these offers for work, I'm very happy about it, but I know also that there is the other side and who knows, next year, they may not offer me anything. You never know.

There was a gap of seven years between the first and second Dracula movies. In the second one as everybody knows, I didn't speak, because I said I couldn't say the lines.

As far as I am concerned, Don Quixote is the most metal fictional character that I know. Single handed, he is trying to change the world, regardless of any personal consequences.

I think acting is a mixture of instinct, imagination and inventiveness. All you can learn as an actor is basic technique.
