More quotes by 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
I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.
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 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'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'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror, and I see me.
Anthony Hopkins
I was trundling around with my inadequacies, and inner pain and loneliness. I yearned, desperately, to be something. I yearned to get out from where I was ... some deep discontent within myself, actually some deep dislike of myself.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm devious, cruel, cunning and addictive.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
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
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 play music - I write my own music, but I play music, just background music really, and just let it happen.
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
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
The reward is in the doing of it.
Anthony Hopkins
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Anthony Hopkins
I was hell bent on destruction... it was like being possessed by a demon.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.
Anthony Hopkins
By giving up 'the need' and 'the want', things begin to happen for you
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have any [favourite role]. I'm just a working actor.
Anthony Hopkins
