More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I used to be a bit obsessed by acting but not anymore. I do enjoy acting but I probably enjoy it more now because it's easier. I can't work in the theater because to me it's too serious. It's like being in prison for me. I admire people that can do that but I can't do it. I'd rather live my life and do a bit of acting in between.
Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins
My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.
Anthony Hopkins
What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That's the way I always work.
Anthony Hopkins
I know how to be strong. I know how to be ruthless. It's part of my nature. I wouldn't be an actor if I wasn't.
Anthony Hopkins
Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.
Anthony Hopkins
We are fascinated by the darkness in ourselves, we are fascinated by the shadow, we are fascinated by the bogeyman.
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
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'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
