I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.

More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with-life's too short.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm more and more convinced that life is a dream. What has happened to me is surely a dream.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don't know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don't know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don't think you need all that stuff.
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 devious, cruel, cunning and addictive.
Anthony Hopkins
Non-expectation and acceptance. Because expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.
Anthony Hopkins
I am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don't have any major friendships or relationships with people.
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
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
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
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 have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony Hopkins
I'll do anything to keep everyone laughing. Things get too intense on film sets. I remember on The Elephant Man, I used to imitate a cat without moving my lips. David Lynch would say, Cut! Sorry, we've got a noise somewhere on set. Everyone would be looking around for this cat.
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
I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.
Anthony Hopkins
My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.
Anthony Hopkins
I used to be a bit obsessed by acting but not anymore. I do enjoy acting but I probably enjoy it more now because it's easier. I can't work in the theater because to me it's too serious. It's like being in prison for me. I admire people that can do that but I can't do it. I'd rather live my life and do a bit of acting in between.
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
I think doubt is a very healthy way to live.
Anthony Hopkins
I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.
Anthony Hopkins
