More quotes by William Hurt
I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process
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.

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 very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision
William Hurt
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
William Hurt
I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out
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
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
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure
William Hurt
The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
William Hurt
I was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
