More quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Actors are responsible to the people we play. I don't label or judge. I just play them as honestly and expressively and creatively as I can.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I don't know, I was young, I drank too much, you know, so I stopped. You know what I mean, it's not really complicated. I had no interest in drinking in moderation. And I still don't. Just because all that time's passed doesn't mean maybe it was just a phase. That's you know, that's who I am.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Creating something is all about problem-solving.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The weight comes off, you know? If you stop with the bread and the pie, it really does. It really works.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Women are the life force we look at for their beauty.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I think good art, if I could be pretentious enough to say, I think good art deals with the micro to explain the macro.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It's like going to get all the ingredients together, and you've got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients. And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake - or not.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
You have all the influence you choose to have.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
To act well isn't an easy thing.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
If you're a human being walking the earth, you're weird, you're strange, you're psychologically challenged.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Great talent admits shortcomings.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I'm probably more personal when I'm acting than at any other time. More open, more direct. Because it allows me to be something that I can't always feel comfortable with when I'm living my own life, you know? Because it's make-believe.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The strange thing is I never thought I'd do films.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I have three children and I think I'm happy when I'm with them and they're okay. When I see them enjoying each other in front of me, and then they let me enjoy them in turn. That brings a feeling which I would say is happiness.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
