More quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.
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
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 you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I would definitely say pleasure is not happiness. Because I think I kill pleasure. Like I take too much of it in, and therefore make it un-pleasurable, like too much coffee, and you're miserable.
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
Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.
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
When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.
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
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
Women are the life force we look at for their beauty.
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 got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.
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
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
When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I know that obviously, that if you want to get the story, if you want to get close to somebody, if you want to find out what is really the truth or what's really interesting, you have to create a trust between these two things, between the journalist and the subject.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
If all people are encouraged to actually see who they're coexisting with, or even if they're not coexisting with other people.It's like to look at the world you're in.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
