More quotes by Frank Langella
There are no taboos in bed, and there shouldn't be any taboos in bed.
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
And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.
Frank Langella
You can only lead by example, and you can only say it might be better for you if. But nobody can do anything until they're ready to do it. So you can sit down with a strong-minded young man of 24, as my son was at a point, and say now listen, this, this, this, and this.
Frank Langella
Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.
Frank Langella
Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise.
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
As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.
Frank Langella
I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance
Frank Langella
It's my job to try to communicate with as little showiness as possible. I was a really showy actor as a young man.
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 have a good friend who says, We're all just dodging bullets. It seems to me the trick to living a good life is to try to move away from the gun you turn on yourself.
Frank Langella
There is a thing called the death wish, a literal thing. It doesn't mean you want to die. It just means however we're built, as we get into these years, some inner part of you does begin to accept the fact that you're heading towards the end, and there's a peace that comes with that.
Frank Langella
Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.
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.
Frank Langella
However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.
Frank Langella
There's a certain secret every actor must have in his work. If you reveal it, you're letting the audience in on the wrinkles and convolutions of your brain. All I want them to do is to see the effect.
Frank Langella
The last few years have been pretty hectic.
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
The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.
