It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.
Christopher WalkenI have boxes full of stuff. Most actors do have a trunk full of stuff, paintings or scripts. It never comes to anything.
Christopher WalkenI'd love to do a character with a wife, a nice little house, a couple of kids, a dog, maybe a bit of singing, and no guns and no killing, but nobody offers me those kind of parts.
Christopher WalkenThere's not a lot of talking between actors - either between actors or between actors and directors. People think that they sit in rooms and talk about psychology and motivations. I don't think that happens much.
Christopher WalkenFor me, in movies, it's always a mixed bag. I've never made a movie where I thought, "You were really good in that movie; you were good all the time." No. It's always, "You didn't get it, you didn't do it in that scene, but the other scene is pretty good." So I just hope that in balance there's more good scenes than not.
