Acting Quote by Christopher Walken

“I'm a better actor now than I ever was, I wish I could have hurried that up, but there's no way. Anyway, I always wanted to be around for a long time. Like a European actor, I hope I live a long time and that I'm acting until I finish.” quote by Christopher Walken — Download Open image
