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

The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.

If my accent betrayed my foreign birth, it also stamped me as an enemy, in the imagination of the producers.

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

It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom.

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