Anthony Hopkins Quotes

Acting is constricted because you have the lines. But I improvise with it and what I learn on the set. I improvise rhythms and just changes Picture Quote #1

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then Picture Quote #1

And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it’s not you going through it Picture Quote #1

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script Picture Quote #1

I don’t have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don’t know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don’t know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don’t think you need all that stuff Picture Quote #1

I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette Picture Quote #1

I know that the arts are important. I’m not denying that, but I can’t associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it Picture Quote #1

I’m most suspicious of scripts that have a lot of stage direction at the top of the page... sunrise over the desert and masses of... a whole essay before you get to the dialogue Picture Quote #1

Oh yes. I’m an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought Picture Quote #1

The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can’t even comprehend it. It’s such an illusion, it’s such a strange thing Picture Quote #1

A conductor can’t be too arrogant with an orchestra and try to impose himself too much Picture Quote #1

Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life Picture Quote #1

I don’t have many friends; I’m very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated, and I’ve never been really close to anyone Picture Quote #1

I think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The dark side of one’s nature. Have fun with it and you know, is to accept everything about ourselves Picture Quote #1

I am not very good with relationships. With anyone. I can’t be locked up with anyone for too long Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere Picture Quote #1

I’ve been composing music all my life and if I’d been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college Picture Quote #1

Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you’re doomed; you’re finished Picture Quote #1

The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting Picture Quote #1

The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don’t dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor Picture Quote #1

What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That’s the way I always work Picture Quote #1

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over Picture Quote #1

For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we’re dreaming all the time. That’s what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls Picture Quote #1

I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I’m blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t say I ever dreamt of becoming a composer, a pianist, or anything else for that matter. I have the kind of brain where nothing is set in stone Picture Quote #1

I know that some actors and directors like to have intensity on set. I don’t, particularly. Certainly, if they want that, that’s fine, but I can’t work like that Picture Quote #1

I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery Picture Quote #1

I’ve felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father’s family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father Picture Quote #1

Multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I’m talking about Picture Quote #1

I was trundling around with my inadequacies, and inner pain and loneliness. I yearned, desperately, to be something. I yearned to get out from where I was... some deep discontent within myself, actually some deep dislike of myself Picture Quote #1
