More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
You have to be pretty tough to be an actor, and you have to be pretty certain what you want. You can't waffle through this business.
Anthony Hopkins
Acting is about listening and reacting. John Wayne was right: Acting is just reacting. You don't have to do much - as long as you stay out of the way of others. That's why it works.
Anthony Hopkins
My life has been a kind of mystery to me. By all my logical, linear thinking I started out in school as a little boy, I didn't have a clue about anything. What they were talking about in school, couldn't play sports, couldn't learn, and I was bottom of the class.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't push my luck. I don't worry about the results and therefore everything seems to work out well. That's something I've learnt over the years. The whole thing about the acting business is that it's a hit-or-miss game so I keep my distance from it.
Anthony Hopkins
I wanted to be a musician but I didn't have the talent for it, so I decided I wanted to be famous, so I became an actor.

We're just blades of grass, and when we go, we go, we never come back one life . . . maybe that's true. But I tend to believe that this is not all there is. Because my life has been like a shadow of something deeper. And I've experienced that many times.
Anthony Hopkins
I've always been hopeless at everything when I was a kid. That's why I became an actor - 'cause I couldn't do anything else.
Anthony Hopkins
I have no education, I have no academic background in painting or in music, but I write music and I compose music and I write and I sell paintings, and my rule is, well, they can't arrest me.
Anthony Hopkins
I think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we've had.
Anthony Hopkins
I come from - I came from Wales, and it's a strong, butch society. We were in the war and all that. People didn't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You had to get on with it. So my credo is get on with it. I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with - life's too short.
Anthony Hopkins
When people call me Sir Anthony I just think oh, that's a bit odd. But I'm not cynical about it. Um, I just feel more comfortable being called Tony or Mr. Hopkins, whatever name I'm called.
Anthony Hopkins
I've got a great sense of humor.
Anthony Hopkins
Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
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 love the hour in makeup. It gives you time to think and have a cup of coffee. It's my favorite part of the day.
Anthony Hopkins
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
Anthony Hopkins
I worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm more and more convinced that life is a dream. What has happened to me is surely a dream.
