More quotes by William Hurt
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
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
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 know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
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
Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.
William Hurt

William Hurt
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
William Hurt
I was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
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
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
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
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
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
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 want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
William Hurt
The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
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
