William Hurt

William Hurt

William Hurt
I listen to XM radio because I can get so many overseas news stations.
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
The Alexander Technique has helped me to undo knots, unblock energy and deal with almost paralysing stage fright
William Hurt
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
