Quotes

The biggest misconception about my father, really, is in the focus of everyone's knowledge and attention about him, in the later years of his life. (...) They focus on negative aspects of his life. One aspect is the idea that he was some sort of an addict. And really, what happened to my father was he became medically addicted to morphine because of leg pains that he had, resulting from an injury. And, at a very late age in life, he turned himself in, to be cured, and he came out of the hospital completely cured, and I think it was a very heroic effort to do that because he took a lot of heat from it. And I'm very proud of how he was able to take control of his life, and lick a problem that he had.

There have been a lot of actors who have played Dracula, but I think that there's only one that's remembered as my father is today.

Dad's social friends were people in the Hungarian community, artisans and dancers and musicians, not the Hollywood crowd.

My dad was I think a proud dad, and a great dad... generous to a fault.

I think he would be amazed that he is remembered as well as he is. He was known as the definitive face of the Dracula character, and he's actually achieved immortality.
