More quotes by 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
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
If you’re an alcoholic or a drug addict, we flirt with death. We pull ourselves to the brink of destruction and if we’re lucky we pull ourselves back. We all have that in us.
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 always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
Anthony Hopkins
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.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have any [favourite role]. I'm just a working actor.
Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins
I love roller coasters. I don't get a chance often, but I've gone to Magic Mountain and gone on the rides. I love roller coasters.
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
Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.
Anthony Hopkins
The reward is in the doing of it.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm the slowest driver in the world.
Anthony Hopkins
You have to be pretty tough to be an actor, and you have to be pretty certain what you want. You can't waffle through this business.
Anthony Hopkins
I love the hour in makeup. It gives you time to think and have a cup of coffee. It's my favorite part of the day.
Anthony Hopkins
I play piano and that's my love. I read and I paint and I compose music, so I've got a pretty full creative life. And it's not because, I'm obsessively creative.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't push my luck. I don't worry about the results and therefore everything seems to work out well. That's something I've learnt over the years. The whole thing about the acting business is that it's a hit-or-miss game so I keep my distance from it.
Anthony Hopkins
I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.
Anthony Hopkins
Hitchcock was such a master of putting on screen things that made you uneasy. Somebody once asked him what frightened him most, and he said the police. He came from a poor background. I think he understood those fears.
