More quotes by 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 did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in.
Dustin Hoffman
I knew I finally made it as a performer when I began hearing rumors that I was gay.
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 a movie called Marathon Man and it was one of my best memories.
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
Well first of all, it's hard to shoot a movie and break for a long time and then come back and do, in a sense, one of the biggest scenes that each character had.
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 too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.
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
I hope to God I don't win an Oscar tomorrow night. It would really depress me if I did. I really don't deserve it. It wasn't that important a part anyhow.
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
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me... aren't you?
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
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
One of the things you can do as an actor, is compensate for the things you can't do in life.
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
We need to band together as a unit every day, especially to conquer the strength of the AIDS virus.
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
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
