Famous quotes by William Hurt:

"You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold."

"You don't look at it as the size of the role. Quantity is not the point. You can be as thorough in 30 seconds as you can in three hours."

"David had this thing in his chest and couldn't shake it,"

"He'll even let himself be characterized as perverse. He's not. He's the opposite of perverse. He's coaxing our perversions, our suppressed perversions, into the open and helping us to deal with them in this wonderful way."

"David's working on subjects that interest me,"

"I need to exist as an actor. . . . There is frustration. But that's not my primary experience. The primary experience is, "Today I'm gonna go try." When I get it, it feels wonderful. But even trying feels good."

"Being stared at is not fun . . . There are times when someone on the street says, "Are you William Hurt?" and I will say, "No, not at the moment.""

"What if you went to the nth degree to prove to yourself that you're the person you want to be? But you found that it's completely different from the person that you are, and you found yourself in a place that consistently refuted the facts as you sensed them?"

"I was a science fiction junkie for a long time."

"But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all."

"It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it."

"I've been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don't know how good we're going to be received in America because that's where it's most challenging."

"The thing is, I don't believe in most of what's done. The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being."

"Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge."

"David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists."

"The thing is David is also aware of everything and it's not like you're going somewhere the director is not."

"I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out."

"I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either."
