Anthony Hopkins Trying Quotations

I can't stand directors who try to micro-manage everything. When it happens these days I just walk off set, saying if they don't like the way I'm doing it they can get someone else.

A conductor can't be too arrogant with an orchestra and try to impose himself too much.

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

The trick is not to get too fanatical about getting the accent too accurate because then that becomes a mask. What I try to do is just painting and sketching some of the sounds without obliterating my own voice.

When I direct I try to keep it a unique design of my own. Naturally you're influenced.

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.
