Dustin Hoffman was the greatest. He had so much information to give and he mesmerized me. He really feels for actors who are just starting out and remembers his early days like they were yesterday.
I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people lo...
My interest in acting came from seeing Broadway shows on summer trips to New York as a child. It was the original production of 'A Chorus Line' in an easy tie with the first 10 -15 minutes of Dustin Hoffman in 'Tootsie' that hooked me on the romantic...
There's people who live life authentically and there's people who live a life of fabrication. And it begins with the question of how you're gonna do your time. And these are observations I made about Folsom when I was there with Dustin Hoffman when h...
My nursery school did a production of 'The Three Little Pigs.' I played the third pig. When the wolf knocked on my door, I refused to get up and answer it because, to me, he was knocking the wrong way. I just lay there, snoring away on stage, fully i...
In my opinion, the actors I admire the most are also character actors - the Dustin Hoffmans and the Robert De Niros. You look at them from film to film, and there's clearly more going on than just the repeat of the same persona over and over again. T...
Everything we do on 'Luck' is absolutely no different than if we'd had been doing it in a feature film. There's no short cuts. The specificity of what every single line might mean. Everything Dustin Hoffman does. Kevin Dunn is as authentic in the las...
I really don't feel like playing anymore.
Golf is game of respect and sportsmanship; we have to respect its traditions and its rules.
There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.
When I first started playing golf, I was heavily into softball and basketball.
I try to respect everybody out here: players, caddies, fans, media.
I live a dramatic life, it's just not on TV yet.
Abbie Hoffman: Tell us a little bit about the war, man. Forrest Gump: The war in Vietnam? Abbie Hoffman: [to audience] War in Viet-Fucking-Nam! [Audience cheers]
My father was gone when I was three years old.
I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances.
Somebody wrote a script around us, but Dustin Abraham came with the best one.
I'm not a 'big picture' sort of guy. I prefer making small improvements each day.
I could never gain much weight. I've always had a fast metabolism.
I resent all organised religions.
One of the most important lessons we can glean from the environmental movement is to 'think globally and act locally.'
