Philip Seymour Hoffman
[Truman Capote] was not only just selling his writing, but he was selling himself as a person.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too.
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.

The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
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
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 have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'
Philip Seymour Hoffman
My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.
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
Sometimes I take a temperature of things just because everyone else does. Especially when I'm doing a play. I want to know what people are thinking, positive or negative.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Plays never feel like the right thing to do at the time.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
My mum's name is Marilyn O'Connor. She's here tonight and I would like if you see her for you to congratulate her because she brought up four kids alone and she deserves congratulations for that.
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 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
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
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.
