Image
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

Dustin Hoffman
Image
I feel cheated never being able to know what it's like to get pregnant, carry a child and breast-feed.
Dustin Hoffman
Image
I love working, I'd be dead if I hadn't found myself as an actor I didn't have to be successful.

A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.
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.

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.

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.

There's too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.
