My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.

Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you're doomed; you're finished.

People ask, 'Should I call you...

People ask, 'Should I call you Sir Hopkins?' But I say, 'No. Call me Tony,' because it's too much of a lift-up.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

People forget that Mozart wrote for commissions. There's a thing in psychology where they think if it's popular, it can't be serious.

Richard Burton came from the same town as me, so I thought I'd follow my nose, and follow my luck. I think I've been very lucky.

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

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

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.

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

I don't have people following ...

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

If you do things, whether it's...

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

Acting is just a process of re...

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or...

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

For me, time is the greatest m...

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

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.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

I can't stand directors who try to micro-manage everything. When it happens these days I just walk off set, saying if they don't like the way I'm doing it they can get someone else.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

I come from - I came from Wale...

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. So my credo is get on with it. I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with - life's too short.

Anthony Hopkins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

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.
