Christopher Walken credits his mother for career




Jungle Book star Christopher Walken believes his mother helped launch his career in Hollywood. The actor says that without his mother sending him off to do show business at a young age he'd probably not be a Hollywood star now.

“I don't think I would be an actor if my mother hadn't put me in showbusi ness as a kid. I got to about 18 and I thought, `What are you going to do for the rest of your life?' There was really only one thing I was equipped to do. So that's what I did,“ he said.

Walken says that he does nothing else with his time other than his job because it is the most interesting part of his life.

“I don't do anything else. I don't have kids. I don't like to travel. I don't have hobbies. I don't play sports -I don't play tennis or golf or anything. Going to work is the most interesting thing I do, so I try to do it as much as I can. “I've done a lot of jobs I maybe might have been better off doing; I've never ever been very selective. It's not to make a living, it's to have something to do, you know? To go somewhere and to be with people,“ he said.
