And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes

For reasons I will go into in the near future, tonight I feel the need to remind myself why I like Sir Anthony Hopkins. This quote will do nicely.

“I became an actor but I still don’t feel that I’m a part of this profession. I never have - 50 years I’ve been doing it. ... It’s nice to get a knighthood but in the end it’s just the same old face in the mirror getting older and older - you have to shave every morning and you look at your face and think: this is it, this is the deal. ... There was a Jesuit priest I knew once and somebody asked him, ‘What’s the shortest prayer in the world?’ And he said, ‘Fuck it’. That’s great, isn’t it?" -Anthony Hopkins
