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

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.

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.

You can only lead by example.
Frank Langella

I have a list a mile long of faults that sometimes bring me to my knees in self-hatred.
Frank Langella

Theres a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a mans change of life.

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.

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
