Non-expectation and acceptance. Because expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.

Image
I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good 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
Image
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 don't believe in nepotism. I don't much like the idea of parents who interfere.

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over.

I'm composing and writing music.

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.

I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.

Image
I wouldn't use the word 'scared' for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius.
