"Christopher Walken was peak Christopher Walken. I don’t even think he rehearsed, but Christopher Walken doesn’t need to rehearse. Christopher Walken just needs to be."

on Peter Pan Live! (2014)"Christopher Walken teleports in from his home planet to do his impression of Christopher Walken. Breaks all his lines down to their constituent syllables and puts random inflections on each. Offers forth one plot point before being dragged back to the set of Kangaroo Jack."
—The Agony Booth on Gigli
"I love Christopher Walken. He's just so perfectly strange. I just love him. It seems like every thought... slightly disconnected to the next. No idea what he's about to say, ever. Just imagine a basic conversation,
'Hey, Chris! Haven't seen ya in a while! How's it goin'-'
[Walken voice] 'Frankenstein never scared me!'
[long beat]
[normal voice] '...Right...'
[Walken voice] 'Marsupials do... [long beat] ...because they're fast. [beat] Speedy little varmints. They dart, it's crazy!'"

"Christopher Walken is in that Christopher Lee zone of somebody who acts in a lot of terrible movies, but he's always something of a highlight and is going to bring his own thing to the table no matter what film he's in. Christopher Walken, unsurprisingly, brings a Christopher Walken Bond villain to the series."
