Anthony Hopkins Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Anthony Hopkins:

I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

So my credo is get on with it. I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with - life's too short.
