Philip Seymour Hoffman

When people don't know who you are, they're seeing your work for the first time. But if they've seen a lot, getting certain things across is a more difficult.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I love Hindi films.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
