More quotes by William Hurt

William Hurt

William Hurt

William Hurt
I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
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
What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.
William Hurt
I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
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
Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.
William Hurt
I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
William Hurt
