More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
At my age, any day above ground and vertical is a good day.
Anthony Hopkins
Certainty is the enemy of mankind. If you're certain about everything, you have the Inquisition, you have Nazis and you have - that certainty is something to be guarded about.
Anthony Hopkins
I watched a film with a very famous, great, great actor, I won't mention his name because everyone loves his memory, but I thought, God he was acting a lot. Great actor, but nonstop acting. Wall to wall, fitted-carpet acting.
Anthony Hopkins
I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony Hopkins
I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

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
Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.
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
You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?
Anthony Hopkins
I was hell bent on destruction... it was like being possessed by a demon.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't like mushiness. I'm a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don't like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I'm getting older, I'm getting much more open about all that.
Anthony Hopkins
The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
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
