More quotes by 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 worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces.
Anthony Hopkins
I have no illusions about my position in this world as an actor or anything like that. I'm very realistic. Reality is a very liberating thing.
Anthony Hopkins
Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
Anthony Hopkins
I've had no contact with my daughter for years. That's her choice. Anyway, you move on. If people don't want to bother with me, fine. You know, God bless them, and move on.

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 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 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 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.
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
We are fascinated by the darkness in ourselves, we are fascinated by the shadow, we are fascinated by the bogeyman.
Anthony Hopkins
Things have changed so much now. Everything is downloaded onto computers. I'm not a computer-savvy guy, but with downloading the movie industry has changed.
Anthony Hopkins
My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
Anthony Hopkins
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.
