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.

More quotes by 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
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'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
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
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
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
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
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
William Hurt
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
William Hurt
Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.
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 very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
William Hurt
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
William Hurt
What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.
William Hurt
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
William Hurt
I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
William Hurt
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
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 a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
William Hurt
