William Hurt

William Hurt
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
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
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
William Hurt
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
William Hurt
I've been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don't know how good we're going to be received in America because that's where it's most challenging
