Anthony Hopkins Filmography

• "I was lousy in school. Real screwed-up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor."
• "Be bold and mighty things will come to your aid."
• "The Welsh people have a talent for acting that one does not find in the English. The English lack heart."
• "I can't be driven by guilt. Guilt is the great thief of my life."
• "When I get too close to someone I want to move on. I don't feel ready for any commitment. I've hurt enough people."
• "It has always been my philosophy to ask for nothing, expect nothing, but take everything. I'm actually just grateful that I reached this age, let alone to have arrived with so many incredible honors in tow."
• "I once asked a Jesuit priest what was the best short prayer he knew. He said, 'fuck it,' as in 'fuck it; it's in God's hands.'"
