Mandy Patinkin star ‘The Princess Bride!’ favorite quote.

The Princess Bride is a 1987 film, based on a 1973 novel, that tells a classic fairy tale, with swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess, and yes, some kissing (as read by a kindly grandfather).

Mandy Patinkin star ‘The Princess Bride!’ favorite quote. According to Patinkin, that would be the line his vengeance-seeking character says near the end of the film, after finally getting what he has trained his whole life to achieve: “I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.”

The actor was 34 when he played the revenge-obsessed Inigo Montoya, but didn’t fully realize the character's significance until he was in his late 50s.

Inigo Montoya:

I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.

Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
