More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
Anthony Hopkins
When I was a young guy, I knew everything. Now I know very little. I know less and less as the time goes on.
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
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
Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
Anthony Hopkins
People ask, 'Should I call you Sir Hopkins?' But I say, 'No. Call me Tony,' because it's too much of a lift-up.
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
Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived... The pain now is part of the happiness then.
Anthony Hopkins
My life has been a kind of mystery to me. By all my logical, linear thinking I started out in school as a little boy, I didn't have a clue about anything. What they were talking about in school, couldn't play sports, couldn't learn, and I was bottom of the class.
Anthony Hopkins
I was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
Anthony Hopkins
I read a lot, that's my main hobby. I've got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I'm a slow reader but I'm obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I'm an autodidact.
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'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror, and I see me.
Anthony Hopkins
Acting is constricted because you have the lines. But I improvise with it and what I learn on the set. I improvise rhythms and just changes.
Anthony Hopkins
The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don't dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.
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'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
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
I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.
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
