Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure

The Alexander Technique has helped me to undo knots, unblock energy and deal with almost paralysing stage fright

I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision

William Hurt 78 quotes

When I look at a person, or a...

When I look at a person, or a character, it is in every case the beginning of an endless journey. And I don't suppose I know where that starts. I know that I have to, like every other person, make decisions and have opinions. But I'm real careful to not judge crassly or cheaply someone else's life.

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

If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character

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

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

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."

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

We get so intellectual that we forget that we're physical creatures.

William Hurt 78 quotes

Play is play, fun is fun, and work is work. They're different. I work hard; even if it's supposed to be fun for someone else, it's work for me.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I generally try to think of what it is I want to express and then find a way of expressing it.

William Hurt 78 quotes

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.

The achievement is appreciation. Your ability to be surprised and awed by beauty!

I grew up in the South Pacific. Basically, my brothers were Guamanian. I spoke words of Guamanian long before I spoke words of English, and so I've seen a lot. You know, I've traveled in places where people don't have the benefits of American life. And so I've seen a lot of stuff.

There's fear or faith. If you're living by fear, then you're always looking for security. If you're living by faith, then you're always looking for freedom.

William Hurt 78 quotes

I am constantly asked, 'What'...

I am constantly asked, 'What's the difference between acting in the theater and acting in film?' The only answer I can give is the space - you adapt to the space. But acting is acting.

If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character.

The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done.
