“I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid.” T.S. Eliot
This man is not only a great actor, but also a wise man who has seen in himself the growing seeds of personal self-destruction. Always a pleasure to watch him, to listening to him, to learn from him. He's a National Treasure. May he live for thousand years.
I wish there were more people like Anthony Hopkins in the world. He's so intelligent and yet so humble at the same time. Not just the best actor but possibly one of the greatest human beings to walk this earth. I'd love to meet you Sir Anthony.
What is pretty unique is that he’s not being disingenuous or feigning humility. He is however wrong. He is special. His outlook on life and his words are effortlessly profound and brilliant. His performances as an actor are mesmerising. And his all round character is everything any person would hope to be. He is really a one off. And we are lucky to have been here to enjoy him.
“The ego is the most dangerous part of us. The ego is the enemy.” Boy I’ll bet he gets lots of nods and smiles whipping that truth out at Hollywood parties. 😂
I am watching this just after I watched an interview with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. In the comments on his video he was praised to have a huge ego. Where is the truth then?
The ego isn't the problem, it's handling of the ego... .. . The ego is nothing more than focused attention... .. . if you have a small ego you're on social media fishing for constant validation by others... .. . like 90% of humans do... .. .
@@liamc1102 LOL, well I am not going to converse with someone that has the consciousness level of an ameba... .. . come back once you've became a landcritter
Following the professional career of this man throughout the years is astonishing. But Tony Hopkins as a person and his view on basic topics of how to live a life is just outstanding. He has so much honesty and this just makes me happy. All the best to this human!
To be this age, have this much success as he has and still be a sane grounded individual is truly marvellous. I wanna be like this if and when I'm his age.
Sir Anthony has always fascinated me. A modern day philosopher. He's got a profound depth of soul & has a better understanding of life than he gives himself credit for. Ego is indeed our enemy & this "life" on earth is all about experience & learning.
I never heard an actor speaking like this! Never! We are so filled with pride narcissism, vanity wether it's intellectually, physically, emotinally economically etc...he's Anthony Hopkins and he says those words, that means a lot of things.
How refreshing to hear Mr. Hopkins speak on how so many of us feel. This was some of the most intense, and brilliant comments I have ever heard - And he does it all off the cuff.
An extremely profound discussion! The discussion touched on questions that many don't think about in a lifetime. And agreed, the interviewer wasn't ready, but was open, allowed Sir Anthony to speak, and asked intelligent questions. Nicely done -- for both!
@@mariamiram2369 before 2012, i was agnostic to the degree that i was very nearly an atheist. however, i had clients who were religious or spiritual. they found their belief system to be a comfort to them, a support system. although i had limited knowledge about the Bible, i used the client's beliefs as a form of support i could offer to them. over time, you might say that the Holy Spirit finally got my attention. see, Jesus knocks at out door and waits for us to answer. i believe, on the other hand, that the Holy Spirit leans with his elbow upon our door bell, compelling us to answer. i answered. i do not like organized religions. i don't like man-made rituals that are not referenced in the Bible. i tried church but didn't care for it. i don't like about 99.99% of religious music. i've attended some bible study, have selectively watched some ministers, pastors, etc on TV, and i have read on my own to learn about my religion, which is Christianity. the quote above is known among believers. i didn't create the concept. i do think it is true and profound. this is not our home. we came from the mind of God, and we will go back to it until the old world passes away and the new Earth is created. energy never dies.
@@nowvoyagerNE that's what I thought. You seemed spiritual but not religious (I mean orginised religions). You should try Osho's books. I think you'll like them
Great life lesson from Sir Hopkins. Doubt can be a killer, because it can freeze people. But certainty is worse, it’s a form of ignorance. We are wise because we know that we don’t know anything for certain
'Ego is the Enemy'. Great line, and also a great book. For me a must-read. Taught me so much about humility and gratitude in work and personal life. Reminds me of keep learning, knowing that I don't know sh*t and must keep going.
Thank you Lord for the making of this film... only good can come out of it and I praise both actors, director and script witter and Netflix of course. And these kind of interviews. This great actor is describing the root of all evil: The Ego... " pride is the favourite sin of satan" Accepting we are nothing is rendition, accepting we are only human is asking for forgives. Doing our best to help each other, with big or little things..is to follow Jesus. Amen
I loved him as Hannibal... as many people do. But this interview was something different. I didn't know Mr. Hopkins was that deeply spiritual. And I don't know why I teared up and cried 3 times during the 7 minutes... what a great man
Anthony Hopkins is still that young boy and man from Port Talbot. Coming from industrial South Wales makes this man real. He still is and in fact you can see he hasn’t lost where he comes from. Hopkins is an artist and has huge respect for what he does. Being a great actor to Hopkins is the same as being a great welder or engineer at the steel works from Port Talbot.
This man has elevated to a spirtual, and self understanding of grrowth through life experiences, and lessons learned along the way! He is not regretful and moves on! We should all do the same, we have to do better when we know better! Love him foever💓
A minute in, i was convinced the interviewer is full of bs. Two minutes in, i realised without him, we wouldn’t have such a brilliant and fascinating interview. Subbed.
Hopkins is so patient with that chap. Clear obvious explanation each time and each time it fails to register,the interviewer merely tries another tack to get what he thinks he wants from the situation.
My favorite actor.I look at a movie just because he is in it.From this interview you can see that he is a good human being as well ,and very intelligent.
Anthony Hopkins can express himself in such an engaging way a master of language and delivery ...even when not performing a script he is eloquent yet unpretentious
The interviewer had no idea what Anthony was trying to say, maybe comprehend some but he was clearly confused at some points. This actor is a very wise man, what he says is true and I came to those conclusions myself, not all of them but some, I do realize I know nothing, what I know is irrelevant and I also know Ego is humanity biggest enemy, ego pride desire for power, all in the same class destroying us. It's so refreshing to hear an old and very smart actor claim with such sincerity that he knows nothing, the he is not special, he has no idea what he is, just tiny fractions, and this applies to every human alive with a functioning brain. We know nothing, we just assume and try to fit pieces of a gigantic puzzle, but we have a couple pieces only, and science, religion in some cases just create pieces to make sense of the universe and of us, but in truth they don't know they don't have a clue just like us. But they are certain, like he said, they are certain and it blinds them and people follow their belief without question sometimes. People would see the world and treat it in such a different way if instead of thinking that we are special, we could say that the world we live in is special and we should just be happy that we are alive to witness it, observe it, live in it, we don't have to dissect and analyze everything and especially assume we know everything. Look at us and look at what Nikola Tesla accomplished 100 years ago and more, we now, today don't understand electricity and vibrations like he did, and he in his turn knew very little of the bigger picture, yet we are all certain that we are the smartest and advanced generation. Being wise doesn't mean knowing 100 books or mastering 10 skills, being a wise person is being just like Anthony Hopkins.
In spiritual teachings we are mainly taught to make an ego a friend. Making it an enemy is exactly what creates chaos in this world. There's a saying that the most egoic people hate ego of others, usually that's how conflicts begin, two egos in war with each other. The task of humanity is to start making it our closest friend to make it dissolve on its own. We don't beat the enemy by making it more of an enemy, we make love to it. It is the reason why I find Mr.Hopkins very much at a point of recognizing his own ego, but still under its control himself. He is wise though. His statement about doubt also reflects his egoic fear and trauma, one can only focus on trust and belief like an innocent child, not doubt.
Wow, how profound his words were. I love this. Faith has nothing to do with certainly. It is a complete surrendering to the God within. Spot on Sir Anthony.
Wow, if you want to see Mr. Hopkins jump up straight in his seat and joyfully engage during an interview just make sure you pick an intelligent topic. This was a pleasure to witness, getting into the metaphysical and abstract. Kudos to the interviewer.
Love it, and I agree very much. "Knowing we know nothing is the basis for humility". Quite true that if we leave humility, we often go into arrogance...delusion. I have heard that three things stop change and growth: When we become 1. too certain, 2. too serious, or 3. too important. Humility is just honesty, and levity goes right along w it.
wow, just wow... He is one of my Masters, a true Master he is to me. His Children are blessed to have such a father/grandfather. He is a truly spiritual being. Like Eckhart Tolle in a way.
What a great Man he is! So filled with humility and intelligence and modesty but so very eloquent with outstanding Talent! He is the perfect Guest to Interview as he "teaches" one about life and fragile egos and philosophy as he progresses in the Interview! Superb!!!👌👌
Bravo!! Anthony has the true mantra...we don't need to "shine" always..because it is literally not about US! He has accepted his gifts and he moves on. What a mentor. Plus..he has that twinkle in his eyes that makes you wonder ..if he is not "magic". (i.e. one of my favorite movies of his). Nice interview..you allowed Anthony to "reveal"....nicely done.....thanks.
"The greatest way to live is living constantly in doubt." Anthony Hopkins inspires me all the time. He just knows how to live a life. I don't think those values of him came out from nowhere. I'm sure he's gone through countless contemplations throughout his life. I thank him for sharing his values with us.
You make me feel brand new. Everything I feel has been verbalized by you. The religious people are the worst spreading their belittling condemnation thinking "THEY" are better than others. Mr. Hopkins i wish you could have given me this wisdom 70 years ago. I part with a smile. LD

But, to his credit, he went with it and didn't try to stop it :)

No Dunning-Kruger effect I suppose.

He knows his craft. That's enough.
I wish we could clone this man. I feel he is part of a very small group of special, honest and non analytical men. He graces us with worldly words.
Omfg how beautifully poetic. "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool".
Brent Phebey It’s a very known wisdom. When you become wise which is through experience, you know this, which is different from knowledge.
A persistent fool becomes wise in his folly...it's all very relative
Kinda paradox
YES! We are all fools fumbling are way through life. Those who claim to know do not. They kid themselves if they believe that. Don’t let them kid you.
This is gold, he is describing genuine spirituality, nothing other than a mind in awe of the unfathomableness of life and the universe.
Good man Dan
and he does it so we understand...love him for it
