I think my favourite is from Benicio Del Toro:

The best advise Benicio has ever been given regarding acting came from Christopher Walken: "When you're in a scene and you don't know what you're gonna do, don't do anything."

It just sounds so... banal. It's funny.

Yeah, it's so "Chris," haha!

I've actually heard a slight variation of it used in sermons on several occassions - (different preachers).

"The misconception is that Chris is ‘out there,’ that he’s a space cadet or weird in some way. He’s actually quite lucid; Chris doesn’t miss a trick. He’s very socially available, very witty and affable. He’s surprisingly accessible — and a lot of guys who have been around as long as he has really aren’t.”

"Walken is brilliant in the part. It was a complete package when Christopher Walken walked on to the set. He’s so dark and mysterious and strange and weird and wonderful, and he did an amazing job."

Dennie Gordon, director of JOE DIRT

during A LATE QUARTET:
"For any actor, it’s a dream to work with him. I had the best time with him. He made me laugh so hard all the time. He’s a kind, gentle, hilarious person. He’s not so hilarious in this. He’s very dedicated. When we were working, he wasn’t goofing around."

Fisher Stephens, director of STAND UP GUYS had this to say:

"Chris is a throwback. In the movie, where he has a roll of quarters in an old 35mm film canister, that’s real life.”
