Frank Langella
My body of work means nothing to me
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
It's also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.
Frank Langella

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
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
A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.
Frank Langella
Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.
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.
Frank Langella
Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.
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
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
If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.
