A Quote by Philip Seymour Hoffman

Actors are investigators. — © Philip Seymour Hoffman
Actors are investigators.
Can you hang in there with your investigators when things get going tough? Don't give up on investigators because they have a little weakness. Work with them until the Holy Ghost tells you not to.
You do not mess with the special investigators.
Re-creative artists are investigators.
As a director, you have to know what actors are doing. You're the one telling them what to do. The actors' job is to come prepared to the set, but sometimes, if they're beginning actors or people who are non-actors, you have to teach them how to act.
I love actors, both my parents were actors, and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. It's important that they feel protected and are confident they won't be betrayed. When you create that atmosphere of trust, it's in the bag - the actors will do everything to satisfy you.
My parents are private investigators for God's sake.
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and I always think it's crap. Anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. You can't not do both.
We know there are a lot of amazing people that work for the FBI as investigators.
If we are not careful, we will convey the message that investigators have to be perfect. Not true!
Investigators have discovered that dogs can laugh, which can't be too big of a surprise.
There are level-headed actors and outlandish actors and financially responsible actors and financially irresponsible actors.
I'd love to perform with other actors and act with actors, true actors. I would like to be in a movie and have full room for acting.
You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors.
Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
Imported actors, like certain wines, sometimes do not stand the ocean trip. This can be as true of American actors in Europe as it is of European actors in America.
It should not take award-winning investigators to find out how this government operates.
