Walken discussed his feelings on sexuality in a 1973 interview with [[After Dark (magazine)|''After Dark'']] while promoting his appearance as [[Bassanio]] in ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]''. "I suppose I think of the man I'm playing as bisexual, and I suppose that's how I think of myself too. I'd hate to think that I was harnessed to heterosexuality. I mean, my life is heterosexual, but I like to think that my head is bisexual, and I think it's a good idea for everybody to start getting used to that notion, because that way one becomes aware of a lot more things."<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Schnakenberg |first=Robert |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eshbAwAAQBAJ&dq=christopher+walken+bisexual+1973&pg=PT39 |title=Christopher Walken A to Z: The Man, the Movies, the Legend |publisher=[[Quirk Books]] |year=2008 |isbn=978-1-59474-775-5|chapter=Bisexuality |author-link=Robert Schnakenberg |access-date=2023-06-11}}</ref>

In a 2025 interview with ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', Walken said, "I don't have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I've seen ''Severance'' on DVDs that they're good enough to send me. I don't have a cell phone. I've never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jurgensen |first=John |title=Christopher Walken Has Never Owned a Cellphone |url=https://www.wsj.com/style/christopher-walken-severance-john-turturro-dune-memoir-1e300ca7?st |access-date=2025-02-09 |website=WSJ |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sharf |first=Zack |date=2025-01-27 |title=Christopher Walken: 'I Don't Have a Cell Phone.
