Dustin Hoffman
» Adversity » “In my room as a kid… I’d play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.”
» Critics and Criticism » “A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.”
» Obsession » “I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.”
» Stardom » “One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you’re a star you’re dead already. You’re embalmed.”
» Talent » “If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”
