More quotes by 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
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.
Anthony Hopkins
Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.
Anthony Hopkins
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.
Anthony Hopkins
If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone.
Anthony Hopkins
Years ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, 'I want to get out and become like him'. Not because of Wales, because I love Wales, but because I was so limited as a child at school and so bereft and lonely, and I thought becoming an actor would do that.
Anthony Hopkins
People forget that Mozart wrote for commissions. There's a thing in psychology where they think if it's popular, it can't be serious.
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
At my age, any day above ground and vertical is a good day.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't know what I believe.
Anthony Hopkins
Whether it's overeating or it's overworking or over-sex or whatever it is, alcoholism, drug addition, we push ourselves to the brink and then pull back because it's kind of exciting.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm composing and writing music.
Anthony Hopkins
The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
Anthony Hopkins
If you do things, whether it's acting or music or painting, do it without fear - that's my philosophy. Because nobody can arrest you and put you in jail if you paint badly, so there's nothing to lose.
Anthony Hopkins
Danger is the spice of life and you’ve got to take a risk now and then…that’s what makes life worthwhile.
Anthony Hopkins
I was hell bent on destruction... it was like being possessed by a demon.
Anthony Hopkins
Acting's entertainment. It's not brain surgery.
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
I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.
Anthony Hopkins
