Anthony Hopkins
SOT
Im not interested in achieving anymore, when I was a kid, 23, I wanted to be at the top and thats OK thats healthy but as the years go by, you can say, Ive been there, bought the postcard, got the T-shirt. Sounds like cynicism but I dont think it is - maybe its a little bit of wisdom - to cool down, take life easy. Ive got time now to read and play piano and paint and write a little but all to no purpose, its all for fun.

35:11
Hopkins remains a complex and secretive character and is known as a difficult actor, rehearsing obsessively and insisting on countless takes.

What an Actor - he is way to intelligent to be an actor.

I like the fact that he walks bare foot in his movies - I wonder if he does that in real life too.

1:04. looks more like Rutger Hauer in that little bit.

"he makes it sound like it's the first time he's ever said that line"

staple compliment for actors when you don't have something original to say.

(no offense to hopkins, obv)

Dear Narrator, stop calling Tony old, you arse. He's invincible!

This man made me fall in love with a cannibalistic fictional serial killer. That isn't weird at all. xD

Nice guy, but I like him as Hannibal Lecter better.

Wow! It's so hard to believe that he was only on screen for 17 minutes in Silence of the Lambs! He totally dominates the movie (although of course Jodie Foster was excellent as well), so it seems like he is on for much, much longer.
