Frank Langella
And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.
Frank Langella
A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.
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
