More quotes by William Hurt

William Hurt
Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.
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
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
William Hurt
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
William Hurt
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
William Hurt
And I don't want to use my troubles as an example of what to do and what not to do.
William Hurt
