He Hates Using Punctuation
Walken’s line delivery is renowned for being strange and unpredictable. Maybe it’s because he dislikes punctuation, as he admitted to The New York Times. He clarified, “Sometimes when I see a question mark in a script, I’ll deliberately make it a statement. Or if something has an exclamation point, I’ll make it a question, just to see what will happen. Punctuation can be a stumbling block, so I take it out.”

He Doesn’t Like It When They “Walkenize” A Role
Walken has earned a reputation for portraying odd, eccentric characters over the years. However, he stated to The New York Times, “Sometimes I take a job and then they decide to what I’ve come to call ‘Walkenize’ it. Suddenly I’ll become a little more zany or wild.” Although you might expect him to enjoy it, he actually despises it, saying, “I prefer to play the part that I prepared for. I don’t like surprises.”
