Philip Seymour Hoffman
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.

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

Philip Seymour Hoffman
