More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I like to work. I don't like to disrupt my equilibrium. I don't like to change my head. I'd rather be a third-rate actor. It's a job, and I'm dedicated in my way. I enjoy it. I'm serious about it. But if it doesn't come off, I'm not going to die.
Anthony Hopkins
I've always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating.
Anthony Hopkins
People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm more and more convinced that life is a dream. What has happened to me is surely a dream.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't like mushiness. I'm a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don't like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I'm getting older, I'm getting much more open about all that.
Anthony Hopkins
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
You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?
Anthony Hopkins
The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
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.
Anthony Hopkins
Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.
Anthony Hopkins
I watched a film with a very famous, great, great actor, I won't mention his name because everyone loves his memory, but I thought, God he was acting a lot. Great actor, but nonstop acting. Wall to wall, fitted-carpet acting.
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
I don't have a vast longing for the stage.
Anthony Hopkins
I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.
Anthony Hopkins
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.
Anthony Hopkins
Life's too short to deal with other people's insecurities.
Anthony Hopkins
When I was a young guy, I knew everything. Now I know very little. I know less and less as the time goes on.
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
Ryan Gosling. He was a good kid, good actor. I like him very much. What was the name of the movie? I've forgotten it. Fracture.
Anthony Hopkins
