More quotes by William Hurt
I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
William Hurt
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
William Hurt
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
William Hurt
I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.
William Hurt
When I look at a person, or a character, it is in every case the beginning of an endless journey. And I don't suppose I know where that starts. I know that I have to, like every other person, make decisions and have opinions. But I'm real careful to not judge crassly or cheaply someone else's life.
William Hurt
But it's also another myth to think that you should be as tight as a drum and not have any frailties or fragilities.
William Hurt
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
William Hurt
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
William Hurt
The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
William Hurt
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
William Hurt
I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.
William Hurt
I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out
William Hurt
Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.
William Hurt
Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.
William Hurt
I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
You don't look at it as the size of the role. Quantity is not the point. You can be as thorough in 30 seconds as you can in three hours.
William Hurt
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
William Hurt
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
William Hurt
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
William Hurt
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
