William Hurt
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
William Hurt
All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.

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
People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.
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

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
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
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 was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
William Hurt
The Alexander Technique has helped me to undo knots, unblock energy and deal with almost paralysing stage fright
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
The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
William Hurt
