More quotes by 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 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.
Anthony Hopkins
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
Anthony Hopkins
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
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
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
The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.
Anthony Hopkins
People forget that Mozart wrote for commissions. There's a thing in psychology where they think if it's popular, it can't be serious.
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 believe in nepotism. I don't much like the idea of parents who interfere.
Anthony Hopkins
I wouldn't use the word 'scared' for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius.
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
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's no truth in acting, it's all a trick, because you go on stage in front of sets, you're on film - it's all a trick. I'm making it sound very - I really am demystifying it, but what I try to do, what I do, and I hope effectively, is to create a reality as if it is happening now, that you're fishing for words out of the air.
Anthony Hopkins
I worked with Steven Spielberg on Amistad... he seemed so very secure in himself that he let me do things.
Anthony Hopkins
The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don't dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.
Anthony Hopkins
I'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror, and I see me.
Anthony Hopkins
The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
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
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.
Anthony Hopkins
