More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I think all those actors from that generation, like Bogart - they were wonderful actors. They didn't act. They just came on and they did it, and the characters were wonderful.
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
The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.
Anthony Hopkins
Ryan Gosling. He was a good kid, good actor. I like him very much. What was the name of the movie? I've forgotten it. Fracture.

I remember coming to New York, in 1974 to do a play here called Equis. And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets and I thought, I'm home. I felt really at peace here.

Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins
I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.
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
People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.
Anthony Hopkins
I said once that if they gave me enough money to read the phone book, I'd do it. I live in a total state of non-expectation. I don't expect things, and I keep my expectations very low about everything.
Anthony Hopkins
The reward is in the doing of it.
Anthony Hopkins
When I direct I try to keep it a unique design of my own. Naturally you're influenced.
Anthony Hopkins
Oh, the truth, oh yeah, lot of trouble that got us into, didn't it, over the last maybe thousand years? Hitler knew the truth, so did Stalin, so did Mao Zedong, so did the Inquisition. They all knew the truth and that caused such horror. Certainty is the enemy.
Anthony Hopkins
