Bela Lugosi

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

Women have a predestination to suffering.

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

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

The actor depends wholly on himself. He gives his performance in what, to him, seems the most effective manner.

I'd like to quit the supernatural roles and play just an interesting, down-to-earth person.

To portray a maniac offers a compelling challenge.

I never play without my cape.

If you are not serious, people will sense it.

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.

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

The stage is near and dear to me.
