Adversity
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
-Dustin Hoffman
Criticism
A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.
-Dustin Hoffman
Envy / Jealousy
I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.
-Dustin Hoffman
Fame
One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.
-Dustin Hoffman
Talent
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
-Dustin Hoffman
