Quote

I am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don't have any major friendships or relationships with people.

Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.

I never make conscious decisions.

Oh, the truth, oh yeah, lot of trouble that got us into, didn't it, over the last maybe thousand years? Hitler knew the truth, so did Stalin, so did Mao Zedong, so did the Inquisition. They all knew the truth and that caused such horror. Certainty is the enemy.

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.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
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.

I hate taxing my mind with analysis. I'm not a good analyst. I cannot talk about acting. I hate talking about it. I hate talking about analyzing.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
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
Image
We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
I read a lot, that's my main hobby. I've got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I'm a slow reader but I'm obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I'm an autodidact.

We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
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.

My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.

You still wake up sometimes. You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.

There is nothing to be scared of in movies. It's a bit scarier going on stage.

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.

People ask, 'Should I call you Sir Hopkins?' But I say, 'No. Call me Tony,' because it's too much of a lift-up.

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.
