Hoffman: "There's so many more failures than successes for actors. It's like a phobia, fear of cancellation."
Hoffman: "If somebody does something wrong to someone around me, I can be firm. But that's always to protect someone to whom wrong is being done to."
Hoffman: "You just want to get it right so badly, so it's stressful when it comes to those vulnerable, dramatic scenes."
Hoffman: "At first I'm sort of answering everything the way you're 'supposed to' answer, and I lost a bunch of followers... I was like, 'What the hell is this all about? What is Twitter supposed to be about? If you're not answering your fans, then what's the point?'"
Hoffman: "I'm learning to not worry too much about the future, and it's hard, but I'm doing it."
Hoffman: "As actors, for the most part, there's that neuroses most of us possess where, in a day of watching, this character get killed off of this show, and that character get killed off of that show - one never knows."
Hoffman: "I can always tell if someone is good in the core."
Hoffman: "My parents are always a great litmus test. Based on the amount of shrieks my mother gives when we're out in public, her constant shock when somebody comes up and says something nice."
Hoffman: "I can't learn lines comfortably unless I have it done out loud with someone else."
Hoffman: "The real, raw, driven-to-tears type scenes have always scared me since I was very young working as an actor. And to this very day, I get tremendously neurotic making sure nothing is forced or fake."
Hoffman: "It's one thing to work, but it's another thing to work on a show where people stop you all the time to say nice things."
Hoffman: "The biggest thing I've learned is just to not doubt myself as much as I do. Having self-doubt is definitely necessary, but it's about not letting it get in the way. When it turns into fear, you run into problems."
Hoffman: "We all know how a lot of actors out there are not exactly the kindest."
