More quotes by 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
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'm not unfamiliar with music, and I really do write music. I've gotten a talent for it. I don't have the technical skills, but I do plan to learn.
Anthony Hopkins

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

Anthony Hopkins
The reward is in the doing of it.
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

Anthony Hopkins
I never cling on to hope or certainty. They're the enemies of peace.
Anthony Hopkins
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
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
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 could stay making nice safe BBC movies for the rest of my life, so I decided to risk it. It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.
Anthony Hopkins
People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.
