T&H Inspiration is on a mission to share inspiring wisdom. The goal is to have you pause, think, and reflect. Many of our videos revolve around the extraordinary teachings of Alan Watts that we produce with permission from the Alan Watts Electronic University.
T&H also films and releases original interviews with iconic people who have experienced successes, while also persevering through life's highs and lows. We look forward to sharing more of these perspectives and insights.
Our hope with these videos is to push your thinking. As Alan Watts said “No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.” - Alan Watts.
I remember when I was 8 or 9, Tony came to our house to try to help my father with his alcoholism, my dad turned him away but I will never forget his selflessness in trying, I found out over the years that he had done similar things with other people, always putting himself out to help others, with no press or fanfare, he's a wonderful person and deserves praise for his actions. Thanks Tony, I will always remember what you tried to do for our family, God bless you
Just hearing him speak stirs your emotions. A beautiful Welsh soul
The piano helps too...
Look up the definition for welsh, or Welsh in historical location. And you may wish to rephrase your wording.

"My philosophy is it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier."
- Anthony Hopkins
Wise indeed
He is absolutely right, a very wise man and also a great actor
Spoken like a true evil person.
Conversely, your reputation is your most valuable asset. So what others think of you and say about you, is vitally important to your success.
Every sane person cares about what others think about them, bullocks, words are cheap.
Today is the tomorrow I was SO worried about...Yesterday!!!
Now THAT'S a thought I'll keep with me forever! Xx
Forever indeed. I can't even remember when time begun.
Same with me. I’m stealin that Anthony!!!! ❤
Oh yes, I agree! I love that quote and his philosophy.
Powerful indeed
comment above has a few sources or Alan Watts
How this man has won only two Oscars is unbelievable. I'd give him 10.
Oscars are gay. Worthless.
Not that oscars matter but winning them is all about politics and schmoozing. I doubt Hopkins likes either
@@David-cm4ok I guess it makes you feel better to say this.
He has gathered thousands of Oscar moments in his life, and has enjoyed them as such!
Oh-liv-ee-aa, not Oliver. Sheesh.
When he is a film he makes the film worth watching.
You know why? He gives you something. It’s authenticity. It’s the one thing humans almost always know when they see it. But it’s so rare and getting rarer.
@@T1tusCr0wwow that is a very profound statement. Thank you for that! Never thought of that exactly but do agree it is true.
@@jcd3869 🙏🏻
He is literally a boss I would not have watched avengers if not for him he portrayed the perfect odin he is my favorite actor such an intelligent man my desire is that he lives forever
Hopkins is a gift to the world.
They won’t come again. The world of today isn’t built to nurture people like Tony. You know what I mean. 👊🏻
@@user-fg1we6hu3d
No. Some people are definitely NOT a gift to the world.
So you like sicko films?
@@Robbo822
I like good acting 🙄
@@T1tusCr0w - it doesn'r mean that people like that hasn't existed, or they don't at the moment. Philosophy is build on that after all.
They always have, it is just nobody was listening to them, or most don't - as they pursue the material world, consumerism, greed, money, have more "goods" that the other guy, or my neighborus and so on - all driven by their own ego. But people like that has always been there.
'I do know that I know I know nothing...' ,
how very right .
A wise man is he who knows he knows nothing ,
a fool is he who thinks he knows everything .
Yup, the fool thinks that he's a wise man meanwhile the wise man knows himself to be a fool
@@caobita Hopkins in the picture above as the British Socrates .
“A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wiseman knows himself to be a fool” - shakespere
Not exactly, a wise man knows many things and a fool does not care..........falun dafa
I care too much. I wish I could do something but I will never be believable. I've done almost everything to tarnish my personal self without any regard because of my pain and shame, remorse. I just now started to believe in myself. How could I get anyone else to believe in me. I'm afraid I'll just make things worse. My inaction is strictly due to fear of hurting people I love and I don't even know if anyone loves me
He get's the bigger picture, what an incredible speech.
I adore Anthony Hopkins and Morgan Freeman . These men are pinnacles of honour and class.

@@stephenberry8658 I do not really care about actors and how do you know what is inside another's heart?
Sir Hopkins is first-class. I wish the rest of Hollywood would learn from him.
Learn what?
Sir Anthory
Sir Anthony.
@@RainerBosch-qy9fj To worry less about ego and status, and just do the best you can with the skills you have. No entourage needed. No social media account needed. No constant public spotlight needed.
@@RainerBosch-qy9fj - humility, not being greedy, not chasing after thier own egos, self development, internal development, being helpfull... List is long.
But they won't as it is an entertainment industry, driven by money, greed, egos. Corpo like approach. Like always have been, so there is no surprise there at all. The same with fashion industry, sport and so on (not even talking about corporate greed and approach). All money, profit and next year stock market price (depending which hedge fund is owning which movie studio at the moment).
Ricky Gervais Opening Monologue from the Golden Globes 2020 is just a proof of that. That nobody in Hollydood cares. Just laughs here and there and that's it.
It's been like that since early 1920-1930 - especially if you read some of the statements, and memoirs from the actors and actresses from that age. Pure greed, abuse, and so called "casting counch". All of that has been there since the beginning, even in the "silent age of cinema".
So hearing somebody like Anthony Hopkins, and some (few) other actors here and there, is actually refreshing. Pure life philosophy, and a pleasure to hear from the mainstream actor.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is such an inspiration and very wise man. Love the way he thinks and he's a fantastic actor!
Hes a fantastic "man" Anthony appeals to us because he does what we all know we secretly desire to do.... live without fear
Yeah he's so wise and basically abandoned his daughter and has no relationship with her. Narcissistic, self obsessed and talking pseudo mystical bs that suits his narrative. The real problem of our civilization is that we worship dysfunctional egoistic people that want to feel special.
Perhaps this is why Joe Black is such a great film. Thx Mr Hopkins
He just be acting. He's good at it. But who wrote the script?
He s no longer a sir as he has taken our US Citizenship
Anthony and Jim Carrey should have a sitdown and a heart to heart talk
Most Excellent Idea!!
Jim Carey? I thought his life was a wreck.
@@stephenpowstinger733the media told you this. he is spot on on so many things its scary. i have a lot of respect for him after learning about evrything years after he spoke out.
agreed, they both are so deep, another level!
@@stephenpowstinger733"Keep thinking Butch, that's what your good at".
A superb human being. No saint, but no sinner either. He is all of us. He's seen something important in his life we should all pay attention to. Thanks for the video!
Why does he always play the antagonist of you know who?
You have chosen the path of NPC.
Hopkins sounds like a Zen Buddhist. Very wise man.
I think many agnostic think this way. Agnostic people tend to be fine with not knowing, but still don't doubt the idea of a greater force
It’s worth listening to David Bowie, he’s also very wise and also was an alcoholic and addict, seems when people go through hell they wise up!

I deeply admire this man.
Me too 👍

Hello dear thanks for the love and support you've been showing me all these years ❣️ you really are amazing honey 💓
@@AnthonyHopkins-hy5ne Very strange bot
I sat in the front row, with my GF in London, at Shaftsbury theatre, watching this man, do his magic. It was mesmerizing...and when you look eye to eye at the man on stage, it sends shivers down one's spine...it was the magical Summer of 1983 and the play was M-Butterfly, and we just by chance walked up, and got front row seats, at a student discount. Magical.
Alan Watts and many more gifted people who saw through the veil have said something similar. Good to hear the same from a man who has lived such a different life than I
I see it and have also achieved, terrestrial time travel and watched myself preparing for a rock Concert on A planet Man made in the future or the past. Same thing in a dream. You see? I've sat with Sir. Hopkins in Malibu at the Church on the Hill at an A.A. group. I don't drink but I get mad. Irish anger so I spoke to him about it. Just lower the volume of your voice and whisper through your anger >[ jewell ]
Everything is in your mind, don't you know? That beautiful imagination.
Quite right, everything is via the mind. How else???
Not so. The ego-mind is just another appearance in consciousness. Your true self, the Self is above all as pure awareness, ever unaffected. The mind can be completely silenced, it only persists because you find it novel and exciting. If you are as bad of a friend to your mind as it is to you your connection will cease. Once silent you will see that life goes on and is handled far better than you ever could. Then you will understand that you are not the doer in its entirety. The mind can get a taste though, just question this ~ How did you type this? How did you initiate the subatomic processes that lead to muscle contraction and coordination? If you really are the doer then you should know exactly how this is done, no? Or is everything just happening?
Beautiful mind
@@shamaniccolonic777. I believe the question at hand is a metaphysical one.
Just when I thought I admired this man plenty enough, I find out his views on life are so open minded and like mine.
The greatest actor in the world speaks so much sense to me.
What is mentioned to be overlooked.. Is love.
Thank you are sharing this wonderful aspect of the man. He has my deep respect not only as an actor, but has a conscious human. Blessings in Absolute Abundance! ✨💖✨
You can tell through his life philosophy that he was a great student of the great Alan Watts👏🏾🙌🏾
@@Gh0stParty so you’ve “listened to all his lectures” but missed all the themes talking about how life is nothing but an illusion, a play of energy, and there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.. always approach with a childlike sense of wonder. Which is what Anthony Hopkins is talking about. Yeah I don’t know which lectures are these you listened to and missed all these themes throughout his lectures. This whole video is full of Alan Watts philosophies for those have truly studied Alan✌🏾✌🏾
Was?
Yeah he's so wise and basically abandoned his daughter and has no relationship with her. Narcissistic, self obsessed and talking pseudo mystical bs that suits his narrative. The real problem of our civilization is that we worship dysfunctional egoistic people that want to feel special.
Its not alans stuff, this has been around forever and is everywhere, alan was just on of the countless who taught this
most is alan watts re re
Ich bin sehr überrascht und beeindruckt von Anthony Hopkins. Hätte nicht gedacht das er so tiefgründig und Weise ist. 😮
Definitiv ein sehr weiser Mann und außerdem ein exzellenter Schauspieler
Why would you think he would not be so wise….you obviously had not watched many of his films ..Or maybe you have and never understood what he was about…..
@@iap-ug3oy In den Filmen in denen er mitspielt hatt er doch nicht die Drehbücher dazu verfasst, oder? Weiß nicht wie er in eventuell vorhandenen Dokus oder Interviews so für Sachen von sich gibt, da ich ihn nur aus einigen Filmen her kenne. Wie sein Leben privat so verlaufen ist, oder was ihn so geprägt hatt, dazu kann ich nichts sagen
Wonderful man, a real sage with a deep soul of goodness.
At that moment Hopkins changed his life by acting (pretending)....this initiated huge amounts of emotions not only for him but for his audience, who relished in his acting (pretending) as they too became addicted to the inner emotions that were evoked.
Not realizing that those very emotions relied on ones subjective perspective....which in reality achieved very little other than a belief in an Illusion.
And that is man's weakness...his insistence that his imagination is real.
(Real as in tangible, measurable & verifiable by others)
This weakness is prayed upon by all religions.
A path to reality is having a delusional mind and you'll find out everyone is the same, the ego is the one that separates us.
This is a beautiful quote
Anthony Hopkins, the way he sees and lives this life. Just... *chef's kiss*
"Hearts in Atlantis", "Meet Joe Black", those performences of his i keep in my mind and heart, inspirational personality indeed, thank you.
Yes, and Fracture :)
@@dachsrottweiler i haven't seen this one yet.
Yes. Meet Joe black!
Thank you... I rarely watch any of Hollywood's movies but i do appreciate his❤
Never seen either only films I see Sir Tony in he plays an evil bugger; wolfman, silence of the lambs etc.
I have always so admired this man, now I know why. He is so REAL
Buddhism is saying the same thing. The reality we perceive is an illusion.
That doesn’t mean that you jump in front of a train. Because it will be very real I assure you.
Hindus believe it too. It's called Mya. Buddha was a Hindu Prince
He’s always been my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ACTOR and every time I hear him speak, I enjoy him even MORE. I LOOOOVE to just have a long meal with Anthony and talk. I’d adore a long conversation with him. Be a dream come true, in my life of a dream. ❤
Even if he fed you with your brain?
His voice is one of the most soothing calming wonderful voices I've ever heard.
Sir Anthony Hopkins knows a thing or two. It’s beautiful to see Hollywood actors with their eyes open. We all need to wake up and realize there is something greater than us at work here. ❤
Correct, it’s Jesus Christ 🙏🏼
@@blazingsaddles7145 When do religious people stop to spill their offensive nonsense everywhere?
Anthony Hopkins is Welsh……
Very philosophical; I love it. “Life is but a tale of sound and fury…signifying nothing.” Despite this famous quotation, life is a miracle. I would love to chat with Sir Anthony Hopkins about philosophy, acting, and his life lessons. Huge kudos to this great man.❤
It's so easy and irresistible to claim that life is just an illusion when you already have everything.
He worked dam hard for it and overcame addiction!!
@@reginamay1 - That doesn't even remotely make sense if its all a dream. It's not possible to be addicted if this is a dream. It's not possible to work if nothing matters. People this dumb destroy everything they say with their words.
All he has to do to prove what he's saying is give me his money. Then I'll believe he believes it. Until then.... his words are just like a fart. Repulsive and rude in this reality. Be polite and remove yourself until you can make a sensible noise.
Bob - I agree. He's one of those arrogant types that likes to pretend he's the smarter person in the room. That's all he's good at tho.... pretending and making useless noise that makes him look dumb. You'd think of he really believed that he would spend more money helping others who have nothing.
Do any of these Hollywood perverts give half of their multiple millions to make other continents a super lush continent? All the money they've earned here, in the USA, you'd think they could end poverty here if ALL of those big mouths tried to. Nothing but arrogant air. Disgusting.
there is something deeper he's talking about here than the seeming material world dude
@Klazi - Are you certain of that? Half way thru Anthony said he wasn't. If he's not certain and just rambling.... and you people think that's genius? That's a sad show for sure.
Jesus Christ claimed to be certain ("I am the way, the truth and the life") and He rose from the dead. That matters. That makes everyone of us matter. That means this is a test and everything matters. DNA is a blueprint. It didn't just form by accident. That's genius.
Sir Anthony has a lucid way of putting things.
Mr. Hopkins, I have been following your career for many years, have watched all of your films, and can say candidly that you are one of the ELITE group of Actors still alive and working to this day. This group is one in which actors can portray believable personas of times past. I have never been disappointed in any of the films you starred.
You have been, "Over-the-Top", “Playing difficult parts", and "Always convincing”, and “one of the last true professionals of the movie industry.” Thank you for inspiring, motivating, and bringing me to heart-felt tears on many occassions in viewing your films.
Many actors in this elite category are disappearing at an alarming rate. The world has gone to rot. Meaning, many people, like fruit...if you have one piece of rotten fruit in the bunch, you can expect the rest of the group to follow suit.
Mr. Hopkins, I will continue to follow your career, and hope you are living a truly wonderful life, as you have brought so much joy, drama, comedy, and love into our home over the years.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilma Cavalier
Phoenix, AZ
Pray for this guy you, who are loving him...
Let's not let him lost... !!!
The choice of gods to pray to are certainly not short in numbers.
I would have said this was nonsense last year. Since then I have woken up spiritually and it really hits home hearing this come from my favourite actor 😊
This is wonderful. He is an amazing man and so very talented. We need more humble people like him in this narcissistic culture.
What a man. A fine soul indeed.
I ran into Mr. Hopkins while he was on the set filming at Union Station in Washington DC. Didn't actually meet him, but ill never forget it. He's like the F40 of actor's, legendary!!
A very sacred treasure is our Sir Anthony !
Amen Sir Anthony Hopkins! Life is a beautiful unfolding mystery!!
🙏❤️
And somehow these words made it's way to me just when I needed them. Fascinating and wondrous this life is.
Sir Anthony Hopkins was in my opinion, (and for sure much millions more) a very special Gift for our world....what ever it is, what ever it means to any single human out there in our lifetime living Planet ☘️❣️ Thank you Sir Anthony Hopkins 🌟
He makes me miss my friend Ivor Brown from Aberdare, such a sweet,gentle spoken man. That Welsh lilt.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is the personification of awareness through reflection. Love his humble humility which seems to be in short supply, lately.This video made me reflect that certainty is dangerous and can be used as an excuse to to create needless harm and suffering. What would the ego do without it. Thanks, Anthony for this video.
Thanks you so much for all your supporting may god bless you dear
My tomorrow ended yesterday..there is only the present, all else is illusion. Mr. Hopkins is spot on!
One of very few worth admiring.
I adore Anthony, ever since I was 17 I love his gift to act in such an incredible way, such a beautiful soul ♥️
One soul I would love to sit and talk to for a while
Since eternity is YAHsomely real to me, i think you verily will.
And so will i ❤
he understands the camera is always rolling; that is what, i imagine, allows him to create as a consummate thespian..yes, it's always a take, so give it your best;
Anthony Hopkins is the most active old actor ever lived. amazing
At 80 years old remind myself, that yea, today was the tomorrow I was worrying about yesterday. My ego is training me not to .believe. whatever that really means, in anything. I do engulf those aspects of life I encounter and will entertain ideas, but that doesn't require believing. This video brought me to tears, thank you, you said it all so eloquently
What a remarkable soul. Thank you . This is the big illusion . . .'life is but a dream' Shakespeare.
i was going to share this. i changed my mind right at the last quote. Read it and then think about it. We don't think enough about priorities. In a sane world of sovereign people homelessness, poverty, starvation, cancer, selfish hierarchy are things we read about in history books. They don't happen when we know we are all sovereign... equal.. men and women. This is our duty.. to learn how to express our sovereignty. ro. i love you 🕯❤🙏
Sad hearing someone so clever so talented, living in a fairy tale dream, when the rest of world is living in a nightmare,
To easy believing in nothing, when in reality where all alive at this moment in history living in a world full of uncertainty.
Sorry to wake you Sis, just thought to let you know WW3 is looking promising, so best stop dreaming and staying awake right now🤜🏻🤛🏻🕶👍🏻
So tell me...what difference would your so called "being awake" make to this world? It would ONLY have an effect on yourself...surely! Xx (said with utmost respect towards U and whatever views U MIGHT hold) Xx's and a big hug.

Thanks you beautiful
I grow tired of everyone often referring to Anthony Hopkins role in the Hannibal movies, like that is all he ever accomplished. Hopkins has a treasure trove of great work which needs to be recognized. One of my favorites is "The World's Fastest Indian". I love this talk. Insightful man. We are nothing, but part of the whole."Ego is the enemy..." a profound recognition.
This was fascinating, I am a huge fan of Sir Anthony Hopkins, and a Lion in Winter is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I had no idea he was so spiritual and a follower of non dualism. The only thing I would like to add to his quote at the end, is that there actually is no thinker. You never think, have never thought you are only the observer of thoughts. The body mind has thoughts running through it, but they are not your thoughts. There is also no doer, you have never done anything, the body mind is on autopilot like a character in a movie, you have no control, no say, in what the character does and are only the silent witness to an illusionary person that is merely conditioning doing its own thing.

Would you say that there is no one who suffers even when, say, they are tortured by some cruel person? And if no one suffers then does anyone do anything wrong when they hurt another, outside of the dictates of state law? If someone gets away with murder, for example, will they experience some type of karmic payback in the future? How could they, if there is no doer involved?
@@KilayaCiriello yes exactly their are no persons, nobody to be a victim, nobody causing pain, nobody receiving pain. That is just a story you’re telling yourself. When you dream sometimes someone in your dream is doing something bad to you or vice versa, but in reality was there really anyone getting hurt or anyone even there to begin with? When you wake from that dream you enter into another one, this one. In this dream you think your a thing, a person, that things happen to and that you and others do things. You are only pure consciousness or awareness. If you were a person you would be the emotions, you would be the thoughts, you would be the personality, but your not, your only the observer of those things and you can’t control them. Your not in the body that you identify with anymore than your in my body or your neighbors. Your relationship to your self image that you call you is very much like a character you watch on a tv show. You can't control what happens to the character on a tv show and you can't control their choices and decisions, just like you can't control the character called you that is nothing more than conditioning on autopilot.
@@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life So this person who suffers pain and sadness doesn't exist? Will this non-existent pain ever end or do I have to just grin and bear my non-existent pain till the death of this non-existent body or maybe till the end of this non-existent universe or maybe for non-existent eternity?
@@KilayaCiriello Pain and sadness are not happening to you, your merely noticing it. You can’t be hurt as there is no-one here to be hurt. You are not a someone or a thing, you are nothing, an Aware nothing, that notices that there are feelings and emotions present. But they are not your emotions, anymore than a sad character in a movie or tv show is you. You’re like an audience member that is caught up and immersed in the drama taking place on a reality tv show, except you are very, immersed in this experience as you have deeply identified with a particular form, that you have created a self image of. Yes there is emotion present, right now there may be sadness, but emotions are like thoughts and the weather, they come and go and aren’t you. You are untouched by all emotions and all things physical, just like the sky is untouched by clouds including storm clouds. Can anyone or anything hurt or affect space? You are the silent space that everything is happening in and you’re identifying with the forms and confusing as you.
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
All you have is today.
What you do with it is up to you.
I've always appreciated the vehicle that drive's me. Two feet & a heart beat. Never had a licence. No car. The water air & earth sustain me.
& I'm almost 60.
For some of us life is a dream. For others life is a nightmare.
His wisdom is so inspiring. He is like a western Dalai Lama. We can feel him, in us.
Can't help always remembering him saying 'the smell of the fifties' in an advert
and my childhood senses rushing back to me!
Beautiful you’re always welcome
I think I have been in the presence of the light you generated in the no time worlds. Anthony I know you live through the light and may we all find the journey we create.
Love
Just let him speak please. Cut the awful music and sensational imagery, it is so distracting. He doesn't need all that. Blessings to this amazing man.
Can't hear his voice
Most documentaries have music these days. Why the producers feel the need to put music to every piece of film. I agree with you. It doesn't enhance the clip, I find it really annoying and most times I end up turning off a documentary because the "dramatic" music spoils it
I loved through the comments in order to find these remarks. It was si frustrating to have his speech drowned out by the loud music. Very disappointing. His message is what I wanted to hear.
Thank you, T&H, for making this available.
One of the biggest reasons I love Anthony Hopkins, I don't know him for anything other than his art. Class act through an through. A person from any background can appreciate him.
LOVELY.
A extraordinary man who inspires on every level. I am grateful that he was part of my life through his work and through sharing himself so graciously.
I would have loved to shake his hand at least once, but I can only do it in my imagination.

What a lovely kind, wise man. It’s a shame such wisdom and enlightenment usually comes only with great age (and often, not even then). Thanks for everything, Anthony.
@roybatty2030 such wisdom comes to the young as well but not all. They become introverts because they can't relate to others and vice versa.
@@sharminiserasinghe3293who would listen to the young,...accept the wisdom of a child? Usually they are scorned or ridiculed by media.
Thanks you so much for supporting dear may GOD always bless you guys
I find him increasingly fascinating
What an awesome, discerning, critical-thinking legend, to put the enigmatic vicissitudes, trials and tribulations of life itself so eloquently. Beautiful.
Keep being!
Thank you :)
His words resound deeply. What a beautiful light! ✨❤️
If you can believe in anyway believe in life
He is a genus. Acting keeps him alive.

Simply beautiful, thank you, Sir Anthony.
Because he makes a living by pretending...most people watching this are in awe. He's defined life. But I was fortunate enough to take care of my dying mother. The love we shared in her last moments demonstrated a reality that is here on earth. We are special. Hopkins says we are not special because he lives in a world that only recognized achievers are special. To the narrator...we don't need a legendary Hollywood life to lead a life we couldn't imagine.
It all makes sense once you realise you are a meaningless blip in an eternal void of emptiness. Trying to find meaning in life has eluded the greatest minds from the dawn of time. It don’t matter what you do in life in 100 years from now you will be only dust and forgotten about like the billions of others who have walked this earth. Rejoice in every second you have and smell the roses as you will never get the opportunity to live again. 🙏
Great person
Absolutely Anthony, absolutely.
I agree with what he says. I've always felt like I've ridden life in the palm of God's hand, saved from countless dangerous, sometimes life threatening situations. It matters none to me if I die tomorrow or in 50 years. I've learned to live trusting in our creator. The greatest knowing is that all is well and you are safe.
Today i had this exact realization and i told myself "life is a dream". I was surprised when he mentioned the EXACT WORDS and I never heard it anywhere before I have said that. I am happy to be able to tune in this video and eager to explore more.
This made me like Anthony Hopkins even more and I have always liked his performances he is a great actor. This man is 82, I am 34 he still is puzzled by what I am wondering and have been wondering for the past 10 years it is refreshing to see someone with the same problem and feelings I am stuck on about life and our greater purpose.
Thank you so much for speaking what I see, recordrng. what's been going on in my mind. Is this ever reaches you, thank you.
Hello beautiful
I've always adored Hopkins. He's so captivating when he speaks and for those who don't know he's even composed a wonderful Waltz - And the Waltz Goes On performed by André Rieu & his Johann Strauss Orchestra
"I'll Show You!" and yes, this spark emanating from a parent's belief "you will amount to nothing" lights that spark.
