It's a misconception that you don't have seasons in southern California. They are just very subtle. The vegetation is very different. Plants react differently. You just have to be a little more observant.

It's not the number of trucks...

It's not the number of trucks parked outside that make a movie interesting but if you have more money, you have more time. More time enables you to try out other possibilities or follow an interesting lead. I don't like indulgence, but to have more possibilities is always more interesting.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

When a new book comes out or ...

When a new book comes out or becomes accessible in whatever form, I get it and I read it.

For a while, I couldn't decide whether or not I should pursue singing in the opera or acting. And I'm glad that I chose the latter because I wasn't a very good singer.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

You know, I don't talk about ...

You know, I don't talk about the characters that I play. Years ago, I was a little timid about it and I kind of squirmed when I was asked, 'Could you tell us something about your character.' Now with a little self-confidence that comes with the grey beard, I just flatly refuse.

Well, you need the villain. I...

Well, you need the villain. If you don't have a villain, the good guy can stay home.

Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.

I think Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

The actor is there to transla...

The actor is there to translate what's on the page onto the stage or the screen. So I find it important that an actor manages to actually get out of the way, vanish as a person behind the character, never to be seen or talked about again. That's my philosophy.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

Look at ISIS - without the Internet, they wouldn't exist in the same form. The Internet didn't create them, but the Internet facilitates them. And as we know from history, the facilitation is more dangerous than the cause, because the cause can be dealt with, but the facilitation is elusive.

The fact that Facebook presents facial recognition programmes as a desirable development, well, that in itself is a decisive step toward fascism, as far as I'm concerned.

I used to hate exposure situations. What is generally referred to as 'red carpet.'

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

I've always been able to work...

I've always been able to work as an actor and support my family and did great jobs, and more often than not, I got to turn down jobs that I didn't really want to do for various reasons or refuse to work with people I didn't like - and there are quite a few.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

I wouldn't really, realistica...

I wouldn't really, realistically speaking, know the difference between wearing an S.S. uniform and a U.S. Marine uniform. To me it's all a uniform.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

The thing about 'Spectre' is ...

The thing about 'Spectre' is that it is not the work of hack writers. It does not have a hack director. The actors are not hams.

'The Philadelphia Story' is one of my favorite movies.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

I know from my experience in ...

I know from my experience in theater that the crowd is different every night; the reactions, the tension. But it's true for film as well, going from country to country and culture to culture. The difference between California and New York responses, for example. It's really fascinating.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

Praise is nothing that accumulates. Praise is a sequence, especially if you've toiled for a long time. Praise does not pile up. So in a way, you can't get too much. I don't consider it to be a quantity that you can measure by volume.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

Ten flashing lights are a nuisance but 500 are fantastic.

Christoph Waltz 51 quotes

I've done so many jobs because I've had to, not because I've wanted to. And it's honourable to do a job because you need to feed your children, and maybe there is also something in it for your development as an actor. But only up to a point.
