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 HopkinsIโm not being cynical, but when youโre doing a movie you have a number of choices as an actor. Then you see it all cut together and all of those precious little pieces you put in are maybe on the cutting room floor. So, you donโt have that much control. You have very little control, in fact.
Anthony HopkinsYou still wake up sometimes. You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.
Anthony HopkinsI 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.
Anthony HopkinsI think Julianne Moore is very, very good. I've worked with her. We did Surviving Picasso. I remember one scene we did together. She had to have a nervous, a mental, breakdown in this one scene. I didn't have many lines. I just had to make sure I knew I came in on cue all right. And I was just watching her walking though the rehearsal. I thought I know what she's doing, "This is going to be terrific." So they said, "Are you ready" and she said, "Yeah," "Ok, roll the camera." And all in one take.
