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 need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out
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 know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
William Hurt
