That's what happens if you do...

That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Try not to be concerned with ...

Try not to be concerned with it. It's a spiritual thing. Don't look for the results, don't live in the payoff. Live in the moment which is a spiritual principle. Live in the moment and let the results take care of themselves. It's in the hands of God. The rest is all ego. And I have learned, over the years, it's got nothing to do with me. As my life is none of my business.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I don't like mushiness. I'm a...

I don't like mushiness. I'm a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don't like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I'm getting older, I'm getting much more open about all that.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

We're just blades of grass, a...

We're just blades of grass, and when we go, we go, we never come back; one life . . . maybe that's true. But I tend to believe that this is not all there is. Because my life has been like a shadow of something deeper. And I've experienced that many times.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Mortality is the great rescue...

Mortality is the great rescuer, it finally takes you out of everything, and that makes life good.Read Carl Jung. It makes life richer because this is it; none of us know where we go and this is the fun of it.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

If you have high expectations...

If you have high expectations you're going to get resentments and all kinds of tension.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Keep low expectations and lif...

Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I don't push my luck. I don't...

I don't push my luck. I don't worry about the results and therefore everything seems to work out well. That's something I've learnt over the years. The whole thing about the acting business is that it's a hit-or-miss game so I keep my distance from it.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I wanted revenge; I wanted to...

I wanted revenge; I wanted to dance on the graves of a few people who made me unhappy. It's a pretty infantile way to go through life - I'll show them - but I've done it, and I've got more than I ever dreamed of.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I love the hour in makeup. It...

I love the hour in makeup. It gives you time to think and have a cup of coffee. It's my favorite part of the day.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I don't know what acting is, ...

I don't know what acting is, but I enjoy it. I think we ask too many questions of ourselves. We make too much importance of stuff. But I do say to actors when I have taught in classes, or when I sometimes do a talk to a group. I'll say, “If I never acted again, the world wouldn't stop, nor would it stop if I didn't stop acting. That's how important it is. I know it [seems] important when you're young. But I say, “Lighten up. Don't take it all so seriously.” All the gurus and teachers will take your money and run.

I love to read, and so I've b...

I love to read, and so I've been reading everything I can, not intensely, but I love to read so I read "Origin of Species" by Darwin and I can't make head or tail of E=MC squared by Einstein, but I try to baffle my way through that.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Danger is the spice of life and you’ve got to take a risk now and then…that’s what makes life worthwhile.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

If you’re an alcoholic or a d...

If you’re an alcoholic or a drug addict, we flirt with death. We pull ourselves to the brink of destruction and if we’re lucky we pull ourselves back. We all have that in us.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I've always been hopeless at ...

I've always been hopeless at everything when I was a kid. That's why I became an actor - 'cause I couldn't do anything else.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I just learn my lines, go on ...

I just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. "Action" - and then do it.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Living with reality is a very...

Living with reality is a very good trick, it gives you tremendous freedom and it changes the structure of the molecules of your soul by living with reality because you don't expect anything anymore. Which is a weird paradox.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

The way to make better decisi...

The way to make better decisions is to make more of them. Then make sure you learn from each one, including those that don't seem to work out in the short term: they will provide valuable distinctions to make better evaluations and therefore decisions in the future. Realize that decision making, like any skill you focus on improving, gets better the more often you do it.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

Once you accept the fact that...

Once you accept the fact that there's nothing to fear, you drill into the primal oil well. I believe when we do things without fear, we can do anything. As long as you don't worry about the consequences.

Anthony Hopkins 306 quotes

I don't have many friends; I'...

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.
