More quotes by 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
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
It's also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.
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.

A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.
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
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
I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance
Frank Langella
I always choose to do the thing that scares me.
Frank Langella
When I closed in King Lear I went into a period of depression for about three weeks, and every actor I've talked to who's ever played a major, major Shakespeare role has done this.
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.
