I just looked at him because ...

I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.

William Hurt 78 quotes

You have to create a track re...

You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I have never worked with anyo...

I have never worked with anyone who I hold in higher esteem than Chris Menges. He's an absolute, bona fide, authentic artist.

William Hurt 78 quotes

You cut off the capacity for ...

You cut off the capacity for grief in your life, and you cut off the joy at the same time. They both come up through the same tunnel. You don't have one without the other.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I need six weeks of rehearsal...

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.

I was held hostage and almost executed by a man who was robbing us in the middle of the night.

William Hurt 78 quotes

The irony is that the more sp...

The irony is that the more specific you are in the portrayal of character, the more like other people you are. In the same way, the more you think about how alone you are in this life, you realise how much a brother and sister everyone else is.

William Hurt 78 quotes

It was the moment I learned a...

It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.

It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.

William Hurt 78 quotes

The point is that there are challenges within techniques. When you differentiate in technique, you challenge yourself; you ask yourself the same question in a new way.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I have a way of synthesizing....

I have a way of synthesizing. That's what I would encourage any young person to do: take in the ideas, the conflicts, and the world. Watch and listen and live before you go public.

William Hurt 78 quotes

If you don't exercise, you don't stay strong. I like to work with talented people.

William Hurt 78 quotes

Not to be offensive, not to b...

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.

William Hurt 78 quotes

It's been a long comeback. Th...

It's been a long comeback. Things were pretty dark for me. But I have a faith now, and it saves my day. I was angry with God for a long time because I was unhappy with me. I hadn't learned to make the distinction between God and my parents. But there's a peace now. In the end, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process.

William Hurt 78 quotes

You don't look at it as the s...

You don't look at it as the size of the role. Quantity is not the point. You can be as thorough in 30 seconds as you can in three hours.

William Hurt 78 quotes

The art is about opening, it ...

The art is about opening, it is not about prejudice, it is not about contempt prior to investigation. It's about endlessly trying to keep from having contempt by admitting that you don't know. Even if you know a lot compared to some other people, usually, I think, the honest experience would be: "God, how little I know! And how much I need to have compassion for myself and for other people."

William Hurt 78 quotes

I'm not comfortable with walk...

I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I had great qualms about playing a man who was living. I've never met Walt McCandless, and I never will.
