More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.
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
I'm just an actor. It's the way the script is written, and it's easy. I don't have think about it. When you receive the script, you know pretty well how to play it, apart from little technicalities like the accent.
Anthony Hopkins
I think doubt is a very healthy way to live.
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
Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.
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 was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
Anthony Hopkins
Hitchcock was such a master of putting on screen things that made you uneasy. Somebody once asked him what frightened him most, and he said the police. He came from a poor background. I think he understood those fears.
Anthony Hopkins
I've been composing music all my life and if I'd been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college.
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
I never cling on to hope or certainty. They're the enemies of peace.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
Anthony Hopkins
What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That's the way I always work.
Anthony Hopkins
When people call me Sir Anthony I just think oh, that's a bit odd. But I'm not cynical about it. Um, I just feel more comfortable being called Tony or Mr. Hopkins, whatever name I'm called.
Anthony Hopkins
When you're young, you're very insecure. And if I could learn, if I could revisit my own past I could say to myself, don't think too much, just get on and do it.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't like mushiness. I'm a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don't like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I'm getting older, I'm getting much more open about all that.
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
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
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.
Anthony Hopkins
