QUOTES BY Philip Seymour Hoffman


I didn't really buy LPs or go to concerts.

I think part of being an actor is staying private.

Actors are responsible to the people we play.

You have to understand that crew members make movies so they're seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.

Actors are investigators.

The weight comes off, you know? If you stop with the bread and the pie, it really does. It really works.

When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate. But it's one that you have to let go of ultimately.

I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
