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

Anthony Hopkins
Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.
