It was brought up with English comics called Dandy and Beano and my favorite character was Desperate Dan. Then after the war, not the First World War, The Second World War, Captain Marvel was the comic that came to England. Captain Marvel was completely new for me.

The Talks interview

Interview0 Comments

Hopkins gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses actors being more sensitive, directors that inspire him, and being obsessed by acting.

I used to be a bit obsessed by it but not anymore. I do enjoy acting but I probably enjoy it more now because it’s easier. I can’t work in the theater because to me it’s too serious. It’s like being in prison for me. I admire people that can do that but I can’t do it. I’d rather live my life and do a bit of acting in between.

I want to say hello to my mother. She’s in Wales watching this on television with Eve and Jean and Jill and Tony. My father died eleven years ago tonight, so maybe he had something to do with this as well, I don’t know. But I want to say thank you to the Academy for your tremendous generosity. To my friend Bob Palmer, my friend and publicist. My dear, beloved wife Jenni. And I have many people to thank here in Los Angeles who over the years have given me tremendous support, without whose help I wouldn’t be here, I know. And I am greatly honored and tremendously moved. And I—God bless you all. Thank you very much.
