More quotes by William Hurt
Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.
William Hurt

William Hurt
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
William Hurt
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character
William Hurt
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
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
I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
