Anthony Hopkins Lectures Hollywood

Sir Anthony Hopkins, dishing out the common sense:

"I can't get caught up in the self-importance. People bow to your every wish and you forget where you come from and what you're doing," he told the magazine.

"I recently worked with two actors who wouldn't come out of their trailers for some reason.

"Can you figure that out? It's insanity. Or they complain because their trailers aren't big enough.

"Bulls***. It's a job, like any other, so don't make a big deal. Be polite, treat the crew with respect and don't think you're different.

"I've worked with directors who are tyrannical and sadistic - but no longer. I'd rather do something else."


I don't know what his overall politics are, and I don't really care. A lot of people in Hollywood need to listen to this.

You’re right.  His politics are irrelevant.  Truth is truth and sense is sense.  And he brought both.  Good on him.

Need more Hopkins in Hollywood, too bad he’s next to dead.
