More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I've been composing music all my life and if I'd been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college.
Anthony Hopkins
There are people who are convinced supernatural forces are at work, but I've no idea. I suspect 'possession' might be a psychological thing, like schizophrenia. We all think we know things, but we don't know a damn thing. Whether God exists, why we're here... Nobody really knows any of it.
Anthony Hopkins
I have no illusions about my position in this world as an actor or anything like that. I'm very realistic. Reality is a very liberating thing.
Anthony Hopkins
I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have a vast longing for the stage.
Anthony Hopkins
I used to be a bit obsessed by acting but not anymore. I do enjoy acting but I probably enjoy it more now because it's easier. I can't work in the theater because to me it's too serious. It's like being in prison for me. I admire people that can do that but I can't do it. I'd rather live my life and do a bit of acting in between.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
Anthony Hopkins
My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
Anthony Hopkins
Whether it's overeating or it's overworking or over-sex or whatever it is, alcoholism, drug addition, we push ourselves to the brink and then pull back because it's kind of exciting.
Anthony Hopkins
I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.
Anthony Hopkins
When you're young, you're very insecure. And if I could learn, if I could revisit my own past I could say to myself, don't think too much, just get on and do it.
Anthony Hopkins
Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
Anthony Hopkins
Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived... The pain now is part of the happiness then.
Anthony Hopkins
You have to have humor. If you don't have humor and you take yourself seriously, you're dead in the water. You have to be jostled. I love it. You've gotta have a laugh. It's better than working for a living.
Anthony Hopkins
I know how to be strong. I know how to be ruthless. It's part of my nature. I wouldn't be an actor if I wasn't.
Anthony Hopkins
I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony Hopkins
I just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. Action - and then do it.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm having a great life. And I'm 73 and they still phone me up and ask me to do a job here and there.
Anthony Hopkins
Shakespeare's so bloody difficult, and I don't like failure. You can fail on film, but there's nobody actually there in the flesh to watch you failing.
