Anthony Hopkins
I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.
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
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.
Anthony Hopkins
Whether it's overeating or it's overworking or over-sex or whatever it is, alcoholism, drug addition, we push ourselves to the brink and then pull back because it's kind of exciting.

Anthony Hopkins
Oh, the truth, oh yeah, lot of trouble that got us into, didn't it, over the last maybe thousand years? Hitler knew the truth, so did Stalin, so did Mao Zedong, so did the Inquisition. They all knew the truth and that caused such horror. Certainty is the enemy.

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 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'm not unfamiliar with music, and I really do write music. I've gotten a talent for it. I don't have the technical skills, but I do plan to learn.
Anthony Hopkins
Guilt is the thief of life.
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
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
