More quotes by Dustin Hoffman
What makes divorce happen is that you can't be in the same space any more, for whatever reason - but the love stays. And that's the killer. That's where the vehemence and anger and rage comes from.
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
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 did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in.
Dustin Hoffman
My wife always says that I will be stuck with this forever: I am the difficult one. With Jack Nicholson they always said it was drugs. Warren Beatty is supposed to have screwed everything that jumped off the curve. I'll tell you, in reality a few of us had as many girls as Warren.
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
One of the things you can do as an actor, is compensate for the things you can't do in life.
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 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
There's too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.
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
37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.
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
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
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
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
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
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
I feel cheated never being able to know what it's like to get pregnant, carry a child and breast-feed.
Dustin Hoffman
I knew I finally made it as a performer when I began hearing rumors that I was gay.
Dustin Hoffman
