Frank Langella
I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.
Frank Langella
Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.
Frank Langella
It's also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.
Frank Langella
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
As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.
Frank Langella
The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.
