More quotes by Dustin Hoffman
We need to band together as a unit every day, especially to conquer the strength of the AIDS virus.
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
The plight of the actor, even if he's a star, is the plight of the women's movement. They're saying the same thing to us: get into bed, give me a good time, then give me something to eat, go get the laundry, be a good girl.
Dustin Hoffman
Acting didn't solve much! If it did, I would have ended up much less crazy than I am today, but I'm not. At least for me, acting is a relief - a relief to be able to admit certain things about myself and disguise in my work, in my characters.
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
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
Somehow I think it was declared very early on that I was the - if not the black sheep of the family, not a very good student.
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
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
Dustin Hoffman
I love working, I'd be dead if I hadn't found myself as an actor I didn't have to be successful.
Dustin Hoffman
I wanted to find my limitations so I decided to do Shylock. And if I fail? I've never been afraid of that. I have other fears - doing bad work knowingly is the worst fear.
Dustin Hoffman
I feel cheated never being able to know what it's like to get pregnant, carry a child and breast-feed.
Dustin Hoffman
A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.
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
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
I don't like the fact that I have to get older so fast, but I like the fact that I'm aging so well.
Dustin Hoffman
There is something unnatural about marriage. These two people are not going to be the same people in a few years. The trick is to live your own life while sharing the same space.
Dustin Hoffman
You spend so much of your life basing yourself on what you think other people think of you. Then you realise that maybe one of the purposes of life is not to care.
Dustin Hoffman
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me... aren't you?
Dustin Hoffman
Now, I'm simply working with people I want to work with. I just want to have good working experiences and let the dice fall where they may.
Dustin Hoffman
