Martin Landau Quotes
- I've spent a lot of time playing roles that didn't really challenge me. I suppose every actor feels that way. But if you're playing a heavy, there's a certain quality to the role in action-adventure movies that isn't demanding; you're using just a little fragment of your personality because that's all that's needed. You want roles that have dimension. New York Times: Martin Landau Rolls up in a new vehicle (August 7, 1988)
- You know, I've always felt, pound for pound, I'm one of the best guys around; but you get stuck in people's eyes in a certain way, and it takes an imaginative director who will look at you and realize you can play different kinds of parts because you are an actor.
