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
Image
I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.

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

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
Image
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
Image
I just always thought, I love acting and I love writing. And when I haven't got any more good breath and good energy, then I'll write.
