QUOTES BY Dustin Hoffman

"So, they had this 40-odd year friendship with each other and with Mr Harwood. So, when I came on it Albert, Tom and Maggie were in the cast. But then Albert wasn't up for it, so he had to withdraw."

"Well, 45-odd years of doing it, so we all pile up the things we like about directors and the things we don't like about directors. And sometimes they're very similar."

"It's very painful for us to feel we deserve a life. That's the toughest thing. That we deserve to have a life. That can take a lifetime."

"Now, I'm simply working with people I want to work with. I just want to have good working experiences and let the dice fall where they may."

"The truth is, I've made about 30 movies in 30 years, and I've been criticized for 30 years for not making more movies."

"I'm sixty-eight, I cry every chance I can."

"I'd like to thank my parents for not practicing birth control."

"I like to mimic my grandkids. I'm trying to understand the intensity of fixation on a leaf. Kids don't need anything else in their life."

"Euthanasia is legal in Hollywood. They just kill the film if it doesn't succeed immediately."

"I love working, I'd be dead if I hadn't found myself as an actor I didn't have to be successful."

"Next to that kid, we all look like onions."
