More quotes by 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
The greatest single human gift is the ability to chase down our dreams.
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
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
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
The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing, which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.
William Hurt
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
William Hurt
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
William Hurt
But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.
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
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
William Hurt
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
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
I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go.
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
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
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
