This industry has been really good to me. It’s been a great life. I’m not through yet. I’m ready when you are, mr. DeMille Picture Quote #1

Some of the best actors in the world are very exterior actors, Anthony Hopkins being one of them. He knows exactly how to turn his face to get a certain expression. He knows exactly what to do with eyes, and with his voice. It’s very exterior Picture Quote #1

I did get to work with Anthony Hopkins on ‘The Human Stain.’ If I ever manage to accomplish a quarter of what he’s achieved, I’ll have had one hell of a career Picture Quote #1

A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife Picture Quote #1

In Wales it’s brilliant. I go to the pub and see everybody who I went to school with. And everybody goes ‘So what you doing now?’ And I go, ‘Oh, I’m doing a film with Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins.’ And they go, ‘Ooh, good.’ And that’s it Picture Quote #1

I am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don’t have any major friendships or relationships with people Picture Quote #1

We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active Picture Quote #1

I worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces Picture Quote #1

People ask, ‘Should I call you Sir Hopkins?’ But I say, ‘No. Call me Tony,’ because it’s too much of a lift-up Picture Quote #1

If you do things, whether it’s acting or music or painting, do it without fear - that’s my philosophy. Because nobody can arrest you and put you in jail if you paint badly, so there’s nothing to lose Picture Quote #1

I come from - I came from Wales, and it’s a strong, butch society. We were in the war and all that. People didn’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You had to get on with it.

I just wanted to be a composer; I became an actor by default, really. I got a scholarship to a college of music and drama, hoping to take a scholarship in music. But I ended up as an acting student, so I’ve stuck with that for the last 50-odd years Picture Quote #1

I remember coming to New York in 1974 to do a play here called ‘Equis.’ And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets, and I thought, ‘I’m home.’ I felt really at peace here Picture Quote #1

I spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way Picture Quote #1
