Philip Seymour Hoffman
  • I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

  • There are characters in movies who I call 'film characters.' They don't exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters what happens to them is not lifelike.

  • 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.

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

  • I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.
