Philip Seymour Hoffman

"It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other."

"Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself."

"I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got."

"To be fair to my dad, he is one of the brightest men I've ever met."

"I have a family."

"I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'"
