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
Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.
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

Years ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, 'I want to get out and become like him'. Not because of Wales, because I love Wales, but because I was so limited as a child at school and so bereft and lonely, and I thought becoming an actor would do that.
Anthony Hopkins
I come from - I came from Wales, and it's a strong, butch society. We were in the war and all that. People didn't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You had to get on with it. So my credo is get on with it. 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 am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don't have any major friendships or relationships with people.
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 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
I've always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating.
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
Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.
Anthony Hopkins
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Anthony Hopkins
I wanted to be a musician but I didn't have the talent for it, so I decided I wanted to be famous, so I became an actor.
Anthony Hopkins
When I direct I try to keep it a unique design of my own. Naturally you're influenced.
Anthony Hopkins
Acting's entertainment. It's not brain surgery.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don't know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don't know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don't think you need all that stuff.
Anthony Hopkins
