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've grown to really love musicals, you know?
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Study, find all the good teachers and study with them, get involved in acting to act, not to be famous or for the money. Do plays. It's not worth it if you are just in it for the money. You have to love it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I'm probably more personal when I'm acting than at any other time. More open, more direct. Because it allows me to be something that I can't always feel comfortable with when I'm living my own life, you know? Because it's make-believe.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
We really enjoy that, having a relationship with writers, developing material and getting a director, actors, that we have kind of that family kind of as a group we're going to do it together mentality in a project. Then the tough part is - so what actually goes has very little to do with us sometimes.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I had a father who was a traveling salesman.

Philip Seymour Hoffman
Why you do something is always kind of a mystery to me.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Life is short. Time is short. As we get older, time does quicken. It's long, and it's long pertaining to that thought, that the past is not done with you because you can't rid of it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I feel like I made a little bit of difference.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Creating anything is hard.
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 try to live my life in such a way that I don't have any regrets. That's probably why I work so much. I don't want to feel I missed something important.
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
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
If I was a little bit younger I would worry more. I'd want to do one thing at a time but now I try to do a bunch of different things at a time if I can.
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
Learning how to die is therefore learning how to live.
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
