It's interesting to fantasize having a man sink his teeth into your neck for sustenance, knowing that it isn't going to be terribly painful but rather very exciting
Frank Langella
I will carry on acting as long as I have breath and as long as I have energy and as long as I can remember my lines. Those are the basic things you need to be an actor. I'll never retire unless something happens to me and I can't do it well. If I can't do it well I don't want to see the public to see me wasting away in front of them.
Frank Langella

Frank Langella
The last few years have been pretty hectic.
Frank Langella
And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.
Frank Langella
At this point in my career, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with an actor my age who has chosen to do really awful things, and he will get a job over me.
Frank Langella
But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.
Frank Langella
Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.
Frank Langella
My last kids were born when I was in my forties, so I still had little kids around me, which gave me the illusion of feeling younger.
Frank Langella
I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.
Frank Langella
I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance
Frank Langella
I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.
