More quotes by William Hurt
I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
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
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
Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.
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
I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out
William Hurt
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
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
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
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
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
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
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
I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure
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 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'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 simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
William Hurt
