Acting is about listening and reacting. John Wayne was right: Acting is just reacting. You don't have to do much - as long as you stay out of the way of others. That's why it works.

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

Shakespeare's so bloody difficult, and I don't like failure. You can fail on film, but there's nobody actually there in the flesh to watch you failing.

I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.
Anthony Hopkins

Acting is constricted because you have the lines. But I improvise with it and what I learn on the set. I improvise rhythms and just changes.

Anthony Hopkins
Image
I was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
I know that the arts are important. I'm not denying that, but I can't associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it.

Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.
