Anthony Hopkins Men Quotations

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

I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

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

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.

I drank a lot, but I wouldn't have missed it. I look back on it as sort of dreary enjoyment, because I don't have to be there anymore.

I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.

I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.

My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.

Most of my last 30 years have been like that. Results and manifestations of things I'd dreamed of as a young kid and wanted as a child and as a young man. I realized it maybe 30 years ago. I thought, "This is unreal. This has happened as I expected it to, as I'd pictured it." My whole life has been like that and I'm fascinated by that power that we all have. That we create our lives as we go.
