Frank Langella quotes:

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.

Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise.

Getting old is not for sissies, kid.

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.

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.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself

My body of work means nothing to me.

I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself.

Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.

Where you are is where it's at.... Don't ever give up & don't ever give in.

You can only lead by example, and you can only say it might be better for you if. But nobody can do anything until they're ready to do it. So you can sit down with a strong-minded young man of 24, as my son was at a point, and say now listen, this, this, this, and this.

Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

There's a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a man's change of life.

One of the safest places to be in the world is the stage.

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.

The last few years have been pretty hectic.

It's interesting to fantasize having a man sink his teeth into your neck for sustenance, knowing that it isn't going to be terribly painful but rather very exciting.

The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.

Intelligence is enormously sexy.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day.

But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.

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.

There are no taboos in bed, and there shouldn't be any taboos in bed.

You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.

I have a list a mile long of faults that sometimes bring me to my knees in self-hatred.

I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.

We do most of what we do out of our sexual energy and our sexual needs.

I'd always felt a man should marry later in life.

As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.

But I firmly believe that you can't be emotionally free until you are emotionally committed.

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.

I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day

I would rather spend one night with Dracula dead than with my husband alive.

You get kinder when you get into my age range. You think back to how really unkind you were, and how cynical you were and how you tossed things away and you tossed people away, and you didn't care because you were climbing some mountain that you thought you needed to be on top of.

You can only lead by example.

Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.

I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

When asked what it takes to succeed in the acting profession, Bette Davis would answer, "the courage to be hated."

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

There's nothing like the bravery and the strength and the extraordinary optimism of a five-year-old child in a cancer hospital, fighting to live. It's there inside the spirit.

There is no right in acting.

My last kids were born when I was in my forties, so I still had little kids around me, which gave me the illusion of feeling younger.

I'm hardly disinterested totally in my appearance

My body of work means nothing to me

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.

I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.

However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.

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.

I now want to be playing parts more interesting to me and more exciting to me.

I'd always felt a man should marry later in life

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill

Physical qualities don't really matter much

It's a living, breathing thing, acting

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.
