More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I was trundling around with my inadequacies, and inner pain and loneliness. I yearned, desperately, to be something. I yearned to get out from where I was ... some deep discontent within myself, actually some deep dislike of myself.
Anthony Hopkins
I'm devious, cruel, cunning and addictive.
Anthony Hopkins
I don't have a vast longing for the stage.
Anthony Hopkins
I've been composing music all my life and if I'd been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college.
Anthony Hopkins
If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone.

Anthony Hopkins
We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.
Anthony Hopkins
Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
Anthony Hopkins
I was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
Anthony Hopkins
There are people who are convinced supernatural forces are at work, but I've no idea. I suspect 'possession' might be a psychological thing, like schizophrenia. We all think we know things, but we don't know a damn thing. Whether God exists, why we're here... Nobody really knows any of it.
Anthony Hopkins
People forget that Mozart wrote for commissions. There's a thing in psychology where they think if it's popular, it can't be serious.
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 remember coming to New York, in 1974 to do a play here called Equis. And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets and I thought, I'm home. I felt really at peace here.
Anthony Hopkins
At my age, any day above ground and vertical is a good day.
Anthony Hopkins
I've always been hopeless at everything when I was a kid. That's why I became an actor - 'cause I couldn't do anything else.
Anthony Hopkins
Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.
Anthony Hopkins
I just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. Action - and then do it.
Anthony Hopkins
I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.
Anthony Hopkins
