Philip Seymour Hoffman
When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I know some really great actors who are pretty judgmental people, pretty critical people. But they're great actors. When they're acting, that's the craft.
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
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
For me, acting is torturous, and it's torturous because you know it's a beautiful thing. I was young once, and I said, that's beautiful and I want that. Wanting it is easy, but trying to be great - well, that's absolutely torturous.

Philip Seymour Hoffman
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
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I was probably finding my feet more than anybody. I really have to say I was more obsessed with myself faltering than anybody else.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
A self-awareness moment. All of a sudden everything he has done comes flashing into his mind, a self-criticism that is unbearable.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Yeah, writers do hate writing.
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
In life, do you ever really know if you're missing an opportunity? No, you really don't.
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
The weight comes off, you know? If you stop with the bread and the pie, it really does. It really works.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
