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.
From Anthony Hopkins
The Welsh people have a talent for acting that one does not find in the English. The English lack heart.
I think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we've had.
I'm not a health freak. I just work out every day.
I don't know why they gave me a knighthood - though it's very nice of them - but I only ever use the title in the U.S. The Americans insist on it and get offended if I don't.
I was bullied as a boy - lots of kids are, but hopefully most of us get on with our lives and grow up.
My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.
I am not very good with relationships. With anyone. I can't be locked up with anyone for too long.
