Anthony Hopkins Featured In Parade, Finds Acting For The Stage To Be 'Boring'

Oscar winning actor Anthony Hopkins has been featured in Parade Magazine in an interview entitled "Anthony Hopkins: Hollywood is 'Full Of Crazy People'". In it Hopkins shares his views on scary movies, the secrets to acting, his advice on 'wannabes' and more.

In regards to ever being on Broadway, Hopkins states: "It's boring to do the same role night after night in a theater. I think it was Judy Dench who said the best thing about doing a play is getting the phone call from the director, 'They want you!' So you go on stage and think, 'This is it!' Then the reviews come in and if they're decent, you go 'God, I've got nine more weeks of this!' You go into the same routine. 'Can I have my keys to the dressing room? Any mail?' Then you go on stage and you've got cell phones going off in the audience and traffic outside passing by. I'd rather not."
