More quotes by William Hurt
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
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 know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
William Hurt
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
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 was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
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 very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
William Hurt
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
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
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
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
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
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
What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.
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
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
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
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
William Hurt
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
