Philip Seymour Hoffman
Films are always a fiction, not documentary. Even a documentary is a kind of fiction.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Vanity is something that will only get in the way of doing your best work, and ultimately if you're truly vain you care more about your work than how you look in your work. I actually consider myself a pretty vain guy when it comes to that.
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
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
When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
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
