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 always thought I'd be a New York theater actor, riding my bicycle to rehearsal. That was all I ever wanted.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
People actually live with their id exposed. They're not good at concealing what's going on inside.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
There’s a period of time in your life when I kind of look back, and I’m like, was I happy, or was I just not aware?
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.

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

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
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
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
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 directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.
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
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
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.
