"I have dual citizenship, it just so happens I live in America." — Anthony Hopkins

I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.

For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we're dreaming all the time. That's what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls.

I wouldn't use the word 'scared' for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock; he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone's religion or belief.

A conductor can't be too arrogant with an orchestra and try to impose himself too much.

I am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don't have any major friendships or relationships with people.

I know that the arts are important. I'm not denying that, but I can't associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
