More quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Plays never feel like the right thing to do at the time.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
You have to have a personal connection. You have to really want to do it, because if you don't, investing yourself personally, your thoughts, your emotions, yourself into a part, is something you're not going to want to do as much.
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
I always knew where I needed to go but I sometimes had a problem getting there, so I had to work harder at it. Once in a while I'd wanna take off the blouse and heels because I'd get that I just wanna be a guy feeling I had when growing up.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman
You have all the influence you choose to have.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Films are always a fiction, not documentary. Even a documentary is a kind of fiction.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
You have to understand that crew members make movies so they're seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Why you do something is always kind of a mystery to me.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
With Good Night, and Good Luck, I think it's kind of obvious what [Truman Capote]'s getting at there, and the importance of how it's playing out today, that is journalism doing, are the journalists doing their job, are they being the other checks and balances in our country that the way that obviously Edward R. Murrow was back then.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
[Truman Capote] was not only just selling his writing, but he was selling himself as a person.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I know that obviously, that if you want to get the story, if you want to get close to somebody, if you want to find out what is really the truth or what's really interesting, you have to create a trust between these two things, between the journalist and the subject.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
