Famous quotes by Martin Landau:

"We had talked about growing older. He used to worry that he looked like a kid when he became an actor."

"It was just terrible. But here was Lugosi: old, addicted, sick. Couldn't take your eyes off him here in this terrible movie. He was fascinating and I became an enormous fan, and I said I want to do this guy justice."

"Life is a roller coaster, ... There are ups, there are downs, there are hills, there are valleys, peaks and so on. And [Burton] knew that there were some pictures that I did over the years with some directors that should have been turned into guitar picks, and would have been more worthwhile had they been. But he understood that I understood that."

"He actually rubbed shoulders with presidents, leaders of countries, the head of the FBI, and ambassadors,"

"He drove fast, but no faster than anybody else that I knew at the time. A lot of people said he had a death wish. He did not."

"His mother died when he was a little kid, his father didn't understand him, and he was raised by an aunt and uncle and a grandfather on a farm. He had a lot of darkness, without question."

"He epitomized that dissatisfied young teenager. He looked like the boy next door, but he behaved differently."

"I always treat each take as a rehearsal for the next take. That way you can find stuff and keep adding and playing until they tell me to stop."

"The real good comedians, like Chaplin, would make you laugh and a second later, cry."

"Bad guys don't think they're bad guys. Hitler probably thought he was a wonderful guy doing some wonderful and righteous work for Germany."

"I'm very proud of Space 1999. Its success paved the way for other sci-fi shows to follow. My hope is that the DVD release will help it reach a new generation of fans."

"Just five years before that the Russians were our allies."

"You can have immediate regrets, but if you look at stuff and say, 'Things happen for a reason', there's a fatalistic thing about it. Something will happen that will justify it in some way."

"And the 90% they are not is what I do for a living."

"Everything that has happened to me is of value to me. As painful as certain things are, and have been, and were, there's a use for those things in my life and in my work."

"I've always been interested in science fiction."

"I did theatrical caricatures."
