More quotes by William Hurt

William Hurt
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
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
William Hurt
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
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

William Hurt
The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware this to me is the most astounding fact.
William Hurt
