The fact that I wound up doing television and film was just a thing that happened, but I was trained for the theater, and what goes on in the theater has nothing to do with special effects.

A lot of the bad guys I've played just haven't had much dimension to them.

I've always felt, pound for p...

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.

A lot of the time with an independent production, you go onto the set, and you rehearse it in front of the crew, and at that point, the cinematographer takes over. You start accommodating the camera instead of the camera accommodating you.

I always say, if I tell you a joke right now and it's funny, you laugh. Now, we set the lights, and I tell you the joke again, it's hard to find it funny the second time.

I don't like to sound immodest, but I believe in what I can do. Sometimes it's been frustrating because I haven't gotten to bat; if you're on the bench, and an unimaginative person doesn't see you as right for a certain role, you don't get the chance to hit the home run.

Martin Landau 28 quotes

I create each character as an individual, coming from a certain place, sounding a certain way, having been introduced to things a certain way.

With 'Avatar,' you're beginning to see the need for less and less actors and less of an appreciation for live acting.

I love an actor who comes in, ready to work. It's like a good tennis player. They hit the ball where you don't expect it, and it's great.

Martin Landau 28 quotes

Dialogue is what a character's willing to share and reveal to another character, and the 90% they aren't willing to share is what I do for a living.
