Anthony Hopkins

I've felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father's family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father. ”

We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist. ”

I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else. ”

I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough. ”

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams. ”

I wouldn't use the word 'scared' for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock; he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius. ”

I've got a great sense of humor. ”

We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance. ”

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid. ”

I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen. ”
