More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?
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
The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have any [favourite role]. I'm just a working actor.
Anthony Hopkins
I thought I did play one villain, Hitler, [who is] like Lecter in some ways, but he's a mythical figure, anyway.
Anthony Hopkins
I hate taxing my mind with analysis. I'm not a good analyst. I cannot talk about acting. I hate talking about it. I hate talking about analyzing.
Anthony Hopkins
My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.
Anthony Hopkins
Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
Anthony Hopkins
There are people who are convinced supernatural forces are at work, but I've no idea. I suspect 'possession' might be a psychological thing, like schizophrenia. We all think we know things, but we don't know a damn thing. Whether God exists, why we're here... Nobody really knows any of it.
Anthony Hopkins
If I spent all my time criticising myself, I wouldn't be able to function. There are actors who theorise till the cows come home. I haven't the patience for them. It's maybe shallow, but that's why I'll never be part of the acting set.
Anthony Hopkins
I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.
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 just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. Action - and then do it.
Anthony Hopkins
I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.
Anthony Hopkins
Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.
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
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
I play piano and that's my love. I read and I paint and I compose music, so I've got a pretty full creative life. And it's not because, I'm obsessively creative.
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 the slowest driver in the world.
Anthony Hopkins
