Anthony Hopkins
Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.
Anthony Hopkins

You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?
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
Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.
Anthony Hopkins
You have to have humor. If you don't have humor and you take yourself seriously, you're dead in the water. You have to be jostled. I love it. You've gotta have a laugh. It's better than working for a living.

I visualized a lot of things happening to me, because I was a lonely kid because I didn't understand anything about school.
