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.
From Philip Seymour Hoffman
I don't have a specific thing I want anyone to get out of anything I do.
My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.
I like to come to the set with very strong ideas and strong opinions about how to do things. And I like also dealing with somebody who's like that.
Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.
My mum is incredibly intelligent.
To act well isn't an easy thing.
If I don't feel like I'm doing the job well, and I don't know how to get there, or I'm too scared, or whatever, I'm not a happy guy and I'm not pleasant. I'm not pleasant to be around.
Why you do something is always kind of a mystery to me.
People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.
