The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.

Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.

Years ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, 'I want to get out and become like him'.

Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
I thought I did play one villain, Hitler, [who is] like Lecter in some ways, but he's a mythical figure, anyway.

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.

You still wake up sometimes. You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.

When I direct I try to keep it a unique design of my own. Naturally you're influenced.

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.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
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.

Hitchcock was such a master of putting on screen things that made you uneasy. Somebody once asked him what frightened him most, and he said the police. He came from a poor background. I think he understood those fears.

I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
