More quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
I had a father who was a traveling salesman.
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
The strange thing is I never thought I'd do films.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Women are the life force we look at for their beauty.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
A lot of people describe me as chubby, which seems so easy, so first-choice. Or stocky. Fair-skinned. Tow-headed. There are so many other choices. How about dense? I mean, I'm a thick kind of guy. But I'm never described in attractive ways. I'm waiting for somebody to say I'm at least cute. But nobody has.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Well, in the theater, I think you're actually more responsible for what is going on onstage as a director than you are in film.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
My mum's name is Marilyn O'Connor. She's here tonight and I would like if you see her for you to congratulate her because she brought up four kids alone and she deserves congratulations for that.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Creating anything is hard.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Great talent admits shortcomings.
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
I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.
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
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
When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Plays never feel like the right thing to do at the time.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
