Barnes, Clive (18. mai 1970). «Stage: Immediacy Illuminates Wilson's 'Lemon Sky'». New York Times. Besøkt 22. november 2020. «Christopher Walken as the nonhero, flip, baffled, charm ing, daring the audience with the author's semi‐off‐stage asides, amused and yet con cerned, is most convincing, moving from narration to ac tion with east and keeping the right distance between himself, audience and play.»
O’Hagan, Sean (2. desember 2012). «Christopher Walken: 'No matter who I play, it's me'». The Observer (på engelsk). ISSN0029-7712. Besøkt 12. august 2023. «Alongside his brothers, Kenneth and Glenn, Walken learned how to perform on live television variety shows in the 1950s, appearing regularly on The Colgate Comedy Hour. "I started performing when I was five years old. We weren't child actors – we were used as furniture. But all my education came from that world and it was all good. You learned to conquer nerves. You learned to think on your feet. If you messed up, there was no correcting it. You dealt with the embarrassment. It was a completely unique apprenticeship."»
