If I was a little bit younger I would worry more. I'd want to do one thing at a time but now I try to do a bunch of different things at a time if I can.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman" was an American actor, director, and producer of film and theater. Best known for his supporting and character actor/character roles – typically lowlifes, bullies, and misfits – Hoffman was a regular presence in films from the early 1990s until his death at age 46.
Drawn to theater as a teenager, Hoffman studied acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He began his screen career in a 1991 episode of Law & Order and started to appear in films in 1992. He gained recognition for his supporting work throughout the decade, notably in Boogie Nights (1997), Happiness (1998 film)/Happiness (1998), The Big Lebowski (1998), and The Talented Mr. Ripley (film)/The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). He began to occasionally play leading roles, and for his portrayal of the author Truman Capote in Capote (film)/Capote (2005), won multiple accolades including the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hoffman's profile continued to grow, and he received three more Oscar nominations for his supporting work as a brutally frank CIA officer in Charlie Wilson's War (2007), a priest accused of pedophilia in Doubt (2008 film)/Doubt (2008), and the charismatic leader of a Scientology-type movement in The Master (2012 film)/The Master (2012).

Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
The size of my head though is pretty abnormal.
I think I'm like any actor, most actors it's kind of inbred in you that you're never going to work again even if you are working a lot.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
