Personal Life
Walken married Georgianne Walken (née Thon) in 1969; she is a casting director, notably for The Sopranos. They live in Wilton, Connecticut and have no children. (Walken has stated in interviews that not having children is one of the reasons he has had such a prolific film career). They also have a vacation home on Block Island, Rhode Island. In regard to his villainous roles preceding him when meeting new people, Walken said, "When they see me in a movie, they expect me to be something nasty .... That's why it's good to defy expectations sometimes."

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough.... He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.”
—Eugenio Montale (1896–1981)
