My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.
Anthony Hopkins
At my age, any day above ground and vertical is a good day.

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
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
My life has been a kind of mystery to me. By all my logical, linear thinking I started out in school as a little boy, I didn't have a clue about anything. What they were talking about in school, couldn't play sports, couldn't learn, and I was bottom of the class.
Anthony Hopkins
Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.
Anthony Hopkins
My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
Anthony Hopkins
I worked with Steven Spielberg on Amistad... he seemed so very secure in himself that he let me do things.

Non-expectation and acceptance. Because expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.

Anthony Hopkins
