- Martin Landau: What I do best, what I've always done best, is act.
  Edit Share Hide
- (about his role in Ed Wood (1994) as Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)) Martin Landau: 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.
