1. Who needs special effects when you have Anthony Hopkins?
   - Scott Hicks (Director)

2. He forgets how good he is.

3. It was so gross! It made me gag, but then I realised, that's Anthony Hopkins eating me - that is so fucking cool!
   - Ray Liotta (Co-star)

4. Anthony Hopkins is sooo........I'd just give it right up!! It wasn't until I met him that I was utterly sold. This huge energy just pours off him - it was like he lassoed me, reeled me in.
   - Julia Roberts (Actress)

5. Nobody delivers a line better than Tony.
   - Alec Baldwin (Co-star)

6. Tony has this extraordinary ability to make you believe when you hear him that it is the very first time he has ever said that line. Its an incredible gift.
   - Sir Richard Attenborough (Director)

7. Out of all the great actors, he has a strong element of doubt in his make-up, and that doubt is what gives him some of his margin of greatness.
   - Oliver Stone (Director)

8. He is one of those actors - and they are rare - who can convincingly portray a man of genius.

9. I would pay to work with Tony, he is the ultimate package. And forget the voice, the eyes.
   - Julia Roberts (Actress)

10. Tony is so powerful in his understating: his muted colours are better than everybody's primary colours. For me, he is the Beethoven of acting - profoundly creative and brilliantly orchestrated.
    - Mel Brookes (Producer)

11. Tony is so relaxed and casual, that's the great thing about him, what you see is what you get, and what you get is great.
    - Julianne Moore (Co-star)
