It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.

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.

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.

Pain has a threshold and so does death.

Hard work is vital to success. As long as it's in the right direction!

Without the author there is nothing.

There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively - I am one with the people.

There is compensation in all things.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

One for whom bread- food- is not enough.

Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.

By the mile it's a trial, but by the inch it's a cinch.
