More quotes by Hilary Swank
I bring my dogs on set with me, and my little dog Karoo is smart as a whip. She knows where the craft-services food tables are, so anytime I can't find her, I know she has found her way to that area. She's a funny dog.

I think writing letters is a lost art, but nowadays it's something that means even more, because it's so easy to communicate in so many different ways. But I find a love letter can even be a little post-it note stuck in your pocket, with a sentence or a few words.
Hilary Swank
I wake up so full of life and feeling so alive and so full of joy when I get to go to a set and tell a story. I just - I couldn't imagine not having that, and what a gift it's been in my life.

I love to travel. I'm a curious person.

I feel like I've had a really great intense relationship with every single Director I've ever worked with. I can't say there's one that hasn't been deep and profound in its own way.
Hilary Swank
I don't believe in the death penalty. I believe that there are other people as we speak right now in prison, wrongfully accused, who could serve such a fate. That is injustice at its greatest.
Hilary Swank
I think what's great about that relationship between an actor and a Director is you have to really blow away all your thing, the safety things that you put up.

When I was a swimmer and I would lose a heat in something I was doing whether it backstroke or breaststroke, were two of my most strongest strokes, I would look at how whoever it was that won and beat me and think, What did they do? What were... What were the qualities that they had that I can incorporate into my swimming to make me better?

It's hard to find really original, compelling works of fiction, for women especially. I find that these true life stories about these women that I'm so blessed to play are some of the most compelling stories, and the truth is stranger than fiction.
Hilary Swank
I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.
Hilary Swank
I look back and I look at all the opportunities that I've had to work really hard and really challenge myself, and I like to do things that scare me. I like to do things that I don't know if I'm going to be able to do. I need the help of talented people around me. I love that it's a collaboration.
Hilary Swank
This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.
Hilary Swank
My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

As a performer, I don't like to play the same thing over and over. I like to play it and let it go and move on. That's also why television hasn't really been something that I've done.
Hilary Swank
There's so much I want to do as an actor. I feel like there's so much more that I want to achieve and that I can achieve.

New Yorkers have this special spot in Central Park, where they do this 5K run, the minute the clock strikes twelve. I ran once, and I'll never do that again, either. But, it's awesome to watch those people run. It's such a great environment and place to be.
