More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
It created in me a yearning for all that is wide and open and expansive. Something that will never allow me to fit in in my own country, with its narrow towns and narrow roads and narrow kindnesses and narrow reprimands.
Anthony Hopkins
I never make conscious decisions. If my agent says to me, It's a good script, I'll do it. I don't plan. I've got a lot of things to do. I'm at the roulette table and my luck seems to be running at the moment. I might as well stay there until it runs out.
Anthony Hopkins
You still wake up sometimes. You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.
Anthony Hopkins
I thought I did play one villain, Hitler, [who is] like Lecter in some ways, but he's a mythical figure, anyway.
Anthony Hopkins
Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.
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

We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active.
Anthony Hopkins
My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.
Anthony Hopkins
I was hell bent on destruction... it was like being possessed by a demon.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm composing and writing music.
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've felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father's family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father.
Anthony Hopkins
Guilt is the thief of life.
Anthony Hopkins
I learn poetry, learn text, and that really keeps you alive.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm devious, cruel, cunning and addictive.
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
