Martin Landau's quotes
- The bottom line is a good actor can play many things.
- What I do best, what I've always done best, is act.
- Let's say I'm playing a heavy. Most of the time I'm only using a sliver of what I am, a little piece. Sometimes the more you embellish that, the worse it can be. The part's just not there.
- [when asked about his experiences while making No Place to Hide (1992)] WHY would you want to know about THAT film!?
- [on working with Woody Allen in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)]: We never discussed the character. I never heard anyone complain about it because I think it allows a good actor a kind of freedom: 'Here's a canvas. Paint!'
- [in a 1988 interview on Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)] I'm a Jewish kid from Brooklyn, but in all the years I've acted, I never had a Jewish role.
