As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.
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 wasn't a trained actor, I was trained in musical comedy theater, and when you do that, the audience is completely part of the thing. It's like Elizabethan theater. You play the scene, and then you turn - the audience is part of it.
Christopher WalkenI don't like flying at the best of times. And as I get older, I like it less and less. I don't much like driving, either. I prefer to be driven. And, when I'm in London, I don't even like walking on the street. I can never get used to looking the right way when I cross the street.
