More quotes by William Hurt
I listen to XM radio because I can get so many overseas news stations.
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
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
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
William Hurt
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
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
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
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
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
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
It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.
William Hurt
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
William Hurt
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
William Hurt
I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
William Hurt
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure
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
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
The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
William Hurt
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
William Hurt
