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

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

I studied at the Budapest Academy of Theatrical Arts for four years and emerged with a degree.

My body grew hot, then cold. I tried to eat the bed sheets. My heart beat madly. Every joint in my body ached. When I took the cure they took it all away from me.

In Hungary, acting is a profession. In America, it is a decision.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

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.

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.

To win a woman, take her with you to see Dracula.

In making theories, always keep a window open so that you can throw one out if necessary.

It is women who bear the race in bloody agony. Suffering is a kind of horror. Blood is a kind of horror. Women are born with horror in their very bloodstream. It is a biological thing.

If you get clear on the what, the how will be taken care of.

Surrender to the unknown and trust that the universe will lead you home.

These past two days, I’ve seen a fire in your eyes that I never have before. Granted, it’s mostly anger and frustration, but it’s still emotion.

Who buys French cars? Not me.

I like how small you can be on TV.

I loved the world of Oz. I guess as a young man, I was just drawn to fantasy worlds. I liked being transported to alternative realms where a lot of my early imagination was sparked.

I grew up thinking of snow as a luxury you visit.

I don’t think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I’d like to star in the play.’

A crowd, proportionately to its size, magnifies all that in its units pertains to the emotions, and diminishes all that in them pertains to thought.

The unconscious creates, the ego edits.
