More quotes by William Hurt
I was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
William Hurt

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
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
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.
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

William Hurt
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
William Hurt
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure
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
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
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
And I don't want to use my troubles as an example of what to do and what not to do.
William Hurt
