More quotes by William Hurt
I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
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
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
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
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
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 was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
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
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure
William Hurt
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
William Hurt
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
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
And I don't want to use my troubles as an example of what to do and what not to do.
William Hurt
I listen to XM radio because I can get so many overseas news stations.
William Hurt
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
William Hurt
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
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
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
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
