More quotes by 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
If you're a human being walking the earth, you're weird, you're strange, you're psychologically challenged.
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
My mother's a staunch feminist, so I grew up with very strong feminist messages. As a result, I battled her in my teenage years because my image of being a man was a deformed one.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Learning how to die is therefore learning how to live.
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
To act well isn't an easy thing.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
For me, acting is torturous, and it's torturous because you know it's a beautiful thing. I was young once, and I said, that's beautiful and I want that. Wanting it is easy, but trying to be great - well, that's absolutely torturous.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I feel like I made a little bit of difference.
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
I think I would have drank myself to death, literally, if I didn't just stop, once and for all when I did. I am not ever going to preach to anyone about drugs or drinking. But, for me, when they were around, I had no self control.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
You have all the influence you choose to have.
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 always thought I'd be a New York theater actor, riding my bicycle to rehearsal. That was all I ever wanted.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I think you gotta have an honesty and a humility about human nature and that it's not about you at the end of the day.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Bob Glaudini, the writer, he's a wonderfully talented man and all his plays and his screenplays, they all have sense of something bigger, even though you're looking at something very simple.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Life is short. Time is short. As we get older, time does quicken. It's long, and it's long pertaining to that thought, that the past is not done with you because you can't rid of it.
