“We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fin…” — Anthony Hopkins

I have dual citizenship; it just so happens I live in America. I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood, and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

The Welsh people have a talent for acting that one does not find in the English. The English lack heart.

People ask, 'Should I call you Sir Hopkins?' But I say, 'No. Call me Tony,' because it's too much of a lift-up.

I worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces.
