Carel Struycken's Quotes
- I actually enjoy playing monsters and that kind of thing. Actually, I don't think I'm very well-suited to play "scary" characters. Now and then, someone will try to use me as a heavy -- a Mafia guy or something like that -- but I don't think that's where I'm at my best. Most mob characters can just stand there and be terribly intimidating, but I'm not intimidating when I'm not allowed to do anything. Still, I'm glad I'll never be typecast as a regular, everyday sort of person.
- It's difficult to stay in character when you don't have the feedback of your own voice. (on playing non-speaking roles)
- It was kind of tough because at that age you're not aware of your tallness. I'm still not, really. Many times people would react to the fact that I looked different and I would think that there was something wrong with me -- that maybe one of my shirt buttons was undone or something. It took 20 or 30 years to get used to it.
