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.

More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.
Anthony Hopkins
If you’re an alcoholic or a drug addict, we flirt with death. We pull ourselves to the brink of destruction and if we’re lucky we pull ourselves back. We all have that in us.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have any [favourite role]. I'm just a working actor.
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
Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.
Anthony Hopkins
I became an actor because I didn't know what else to do. Academically, I wasn't good.
Anthony Hopkins
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
Anthony Hopkins
Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived... The pain now is part of the happiness then.
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
At my age, any day above ground and vertical is a good day.
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
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
My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.
Anthony Hopkins
I never make conscious decisions. If my agent says to me, It's a good script, I'll do it. I don't plan. I've got a lot of things to do. I'm at the roulette table and my luck seems to be running at the moment. I might as well stay there until it runs out.
Anthony Hopkins
Acting's entertainment. It's not brain surgery.
Anthony Hopkins
If you don't follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.
Anthony Hopkins
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'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
Anthony Hopkins
Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
