More quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Women are the life force we look at for their beauty.
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 think I'm less anonymous than I was.
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
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
There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16.
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
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
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
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
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
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
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
I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
You know the circus performer who spins the plates in the air you know, and he'll spin six or seven plates in the air? Acting sometimes is kind of that guy spinning all those plates in the air but in your head and in your body.
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
I always thought I'd be a New York theater actor, riding my bicycle to rehearsal. That was all I ever wanted.
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
Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Creating something is all about problem-solving.
