People don't always tell you ...

People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Israel means war and destruction and we Americans are behind this war and I am ashamed of being American.

Non-expectation and acceptance. Because expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

No expectations. Ask nothing,...

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I read a lot, that's my main ...

I read a lot, that's my main hobby. I've got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I'm a slow reader but I'm obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I'm an autodidact.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

The trick is not to get too f...

The trick is not to get too fanatical about getting the accent too accurate because then that becomes a mask. What I try to do is just painting and sketching some of the sounds without obliterating my own voice.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

When you're younger you have ...

When you're younger you have so many ideas about yourself; everything is important. It's not when you look back, nothing is that important. It's only life.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I play piano and that's my love. I read and I paint and I compose music, so I've got a pretty full creative life. And it's not because, I'm obsessively creative.

The whole point of courage, to overcome your fear. That's the interesting thing, when courage bleeds through the fear.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

When you begin to believe you...

When you begin to believe you have license because you are a special person breathing special oxygen, that's when you're in big trouble. That's the road to insanity. And a lot of people in the studios are like that. They believe that they are special. I do think actors are blessed, or cursed, with maybe a slightly heightened awareness, which you have to use.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I'd like to wake up and look ...

I'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror, and I see me.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I've had no ­contact with my daughter for years. That's her choice. Anyway, you move on. If people don't want to bother with me, fine. You know, God bless them, and move on.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Sometimes I feel tired and think I ought to give it up, I don't want to just retire. No, I enjoy it all and you just keep going until the day comes when you can't do it anymore. And that's what I want to do.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

You look closely enough, you'...

You look closely enough, you'll find that everything has a weak spot where it can break, sooner or later.

I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I do my job, and I do what I’...

I do my job, and I do what I’m paid to do and I’m always prepared. I prepare by learning the text so well that when I show up, I’m relaxed and the performance sort of happens. Now whether that’s good or bad, I don’t know... Whatever I say is going to sound very egocentric and self centered anyway so I’d better shut up.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I used to be a bit obsessed b...

I used to be a bit obsessed by acting but not anymore. I do enjoy acting but I probably enjoy it more now because it's easier. I can't work in the theater because to me it's too serious. It's like being in prison for me. I admire people that can do that but I can't do it. I'd rather live my life and do a bit of acting in between.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I'll do anything to keep ever...

I'll do anything to keep everyone laughing. Things get too intense on film sets. I remember on The Elephant Man, I used to imitate a cat without moving my lips. David Lynch would say, "Cut! Sorry, we've got a noise somewhere on set." Everyone would be looking around for this cat.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I watched a film with a very ...

I watched a film with a very famous, great, great actor, I won't mention his name because everyone loves his memory, but I thought, "God he was acting a lot." Great actor, but nonstop acting. Wall to wall, fitted-carpet acting.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

There's a thing that if you -...

There's a thing that if you - somebody in faith is always troubled by doubt, and somebody by doubt is always wanted by faith. So it's a kind of paradox.
