More quotes by Frank Langella

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.

When asked what it takes to succeed in the acting profession, Bette Davis would answer, The courage to be hated.
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
As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.
Frank Langella
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.
Frank Langella
I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.
Frank Langella
One of the safest places to be in the world is the stage.
Frank Langella
Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.
Frank Langella
My body of work means nothing to me
Frank Langella
I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.
