Very good advice by Christopher Lee - not only for actors

I took this part out of a whole interview because I wanted to preserve the essence of that interview. I thought this part was the most important message and could make a real difference in the life of a person.
Often we just need to hear the right words in the right moment to have a lifelong positive impact on our life.

Thank you for all the love in the comments for this great man!
Great actor, smart man, good man. He was a rare individual.

He was a James Bond villain, Dracula, a Sith Lord, Death in Terry Pratchett films and Saruman.
And he kept working right until his death at over 90 years old. What a freaking legend!

[WalterLiddy]

A rare case where you can say without irony, he was a gentleman and a scholar.

"If you start at the top of the ladder, there's only one way to go"
I feel people need to hear this more often

[rainkatt]

I had the pleasure of sitting and having a chat in 1974 with him, what a delightful gentleman, I will never forget how kind he was to this 17 yr old fan in the '70s

'If you start at the top of the ladder, theres only one place to go'

He's telling us basically 'Twice the Pride, Double the Fall'

[Emperor-Palpatine]

He`s become more powerful than any jedi.

This man worked his way to the top of a ladder, settled himself in an armchair, and remains there to this day.

RIP Sir Christopher Lee (May 27, 1922 – June 7, 2015), aged 93
You will be remembered as a legend.

Christopher Lee: “People will get bored eventually if you play the same character all the time.”

"I have worked in all sorts of places, all over Europe" Not only normal jobs, he has a great military background from WW2 aswell, what a legend

[hordegaming]

This is why Christopher Lee is not only one of my favourite actors but people who's lived in recent times really. A brilliant man who gave us so many great performances and was very wise and honest and a good man, a role model for today's men.

Christopher Lee didn't die, he finished living. This man has LIVED, good to hear his wisdom.

[DanIel-flvc]

"You start at the top of the ladder there's only one way to go".
That's true, especially for anyone who rely on their looks or youth for popularity.

[darkin]

This man didn't die. He just become one with the force after completing life.

[dylanpiazza]

LEGEND. Thespian, musician, intellect. Loved and missed. Dont make em like they used to

[schizoidboy]

When you consider Christopher Lee was acting right into his nineties, considering it a way of life not just a career - and doing other things on the side, this is the sort of advice everyone needs to hear.

[husseinghaddar]

"The power on invention" is one of the most fascinating and precise expressions I have ever heard. What a knowledgeable and eloquent actor this is.

[stormhawk]

Any young actor needs to listen to Mr Lee’s words.
LISTEN.

[TieDef]

"The most dangerous thing a young actor or actress can do is believe their own publicity."
Elsewhere he's said that it's always "fatal." It's a line that's stuck with me.

One of the things I love about Christopher Lee is how authentic he was. He's played many different roles yet when he's interviewed, you can tell he's always speaking from the heart. I wish I could have met him.
