, My mantra is “stay perpendicular.” Horizontal is not as good.
Doubt is an important part of the human being. Trust has to be attained. If you don’t trust yourself, you won’t trust others. You make a choice and see where it goes.
I have done some films along the way that have been screwed up and not as good as they read. Some films that are not that good on the page turn into good movies.

Martin Landau's career began in the late 1950s with a supporting turn in Hitchcock's North by Northwest in 1959. His breakthrough came leading Mission: Impossible from 1966 to 1969, then Space: 1999 from 1975 to 1977. He earned back-to-back Academy Award nominations for Tucker: The Man and His Dream in 1988 and Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors in 1989. Five years later he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor playing Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood, a role that also brought him the Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe awards. He continued working through Rounders, Sleepy Hollow, and Remember while heading the Hollywood branch of the Actors Studio until his death in July 2017.
