Philip Seymour Hoffman
Learning how to die is therefore learning how to live.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I've been reading a bunch of stuff lately - like Joseph Campbell - that has made me realize that people in our cultural, especially in the liberal community, often go in search of a foe. It's like we always need a hill to climb up or something to push against, or we feel as if we're not working constructively in the world.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

Philip Seymour Hoffman
I've had to make the transition from sweeping in for 15 minutes, doing my stuff and clearing out, to carrying a movie for the duration - in a dress.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I was probably finding my feet more than anybody. I really have to say I was more obsessed with myself faltering than anybody else.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
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
There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.
