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 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 love acting, and I`m not going to determine what I do based on what I fear other people might think. I do what I want to do.
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
Life stinks, but that doesn't mean you don't enjoy it.
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 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
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
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
One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.
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
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
37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.
Dustin Hoffman
I did a movie called Marathon Man and it was one of my best memories.
Dustin Hoffman
A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.
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
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
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
I knew I finally made it as a performer when I began hearing rumors that I was gay.
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
