More quotes by Dustin Hoffman
The better you are as a parent, the richer the nest you've built, the more difficult it is for your kids to leave. So they have to invent things to dislike about you. And they're brilliant at it.
Dustin Hoffman
Someone once said to me, 'Some of us choose to live with a lifeboat just a little bit out of our reach.' I'd like to reach a point where I no longer bullshit myself. I think that's the natural human condition - to lie to yourself. Because the truth is painful.
Dustin Hoffman
There's a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don't understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don't understand boredom.
Dustin Hoffman
I did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in.
Dustin Hoffman
A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.
Dustin Hoffman
But I would reinvent myself if I could. As a sexy leading man! We all would like that, but I don't know how to.
Dustin Hoffman
Life stinks, but that doesn't mean you don't enjoy it.
Dustin Hoffman
I think 'retirement' goes hand in hand with people who make a living by having a 'job.' I don't think we-the .00001 percent of the population who are so fortunate to love passionately what we do-consider it a 'job.
Dustin Hoffman
If you can get out there and say I'm going to...I'm willing to fail at what I feel is right, that's it.
Dustin Hoffman
Canada is like a nice family living over a biker bar . . . They keep telling the downstairs neighbors to keep down the noise, people are trying to sleep.
Dustin Hoffman
I knew I finally made it as a performer when I began hearing rumors that I was gay.
Dustin Hoffman
So when I told my parents I wanted to go into acting because I was flunking out of my first year of junior college, they were relieved that I had picked something other than joining the army. But I can't imagine how they had high hopes for me.
Dustin Hoffman
I think the most insulting thing you can do to a director is to challenge when he or she is satisfied with your interpretation.
Dustin Hoffman
So, they had this 40-odd year friendship with each other and with Mr Harwood. So, when I came on it Albert, Tom and Maggie were in the cast. But then Albert wasn't up for it, so he had to withdraw.
Dustin Hoffman
The truth is, I've made about 30 movies in 30 years, and I've been criticized for 30 years for not making more movies.
Dustin Hoffman
There's nothing that I love more than predawn. I'm with the dogs, I make coffee, and there's no one up.
Dustin Hoffman
I like to mimic my grandkids. I'm trying to understand the intensity of fixation on a leaf. Kids don't need anything else in their life.
Dustin Hoffman
Well, 45-odd years of doing it, so we all pile up the things we like about directors and the things we don't like about directors. And sometimes they're very similar.
Dustin Hoffman
One of the things you can do as an actor, is compensate for the things you can't do in life.
Dustin Hoffman
There's too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.
Dustin Hoffman
