Philip Seymour Hoffman
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
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
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
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
Creating something is all about problem-solving.
Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
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 think I'm less anonymous than I was.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
My soul is in good shape.
