“I submit to you that the greatness of Philip Seymour Hoffman, in both individual roles and over the course of his career, is that he never stopped measuring the distance between what we want and what we get, what we hope for and what we’re stuck with — the perfect poetry of man at his most ideal and the crumminess of day-to-day life… He kept our secret — that everything goes to hell eventually, sometimes even beautifully — even as he acted it out, and for that we gave him our trust and the kind of love most movie stars only dream of.” –Ty Burr
“Phil permitted us to let his reflected light make our lives brighter, and not in a condescending way. In a generous way.” –John Baynes
“A pencil in his hand, a script at his fingertips, questioning, seeking, an inscrutable character being drafted, drawn, beamed in from the cosmos, an unknowable man becoming known, an unknowable man becoming seen, because he had to be. Because for Phil, to not create would have been to die a different kind of death. And each role provided him with a different kind of life. We are blessed with all the lives he’s left behind. The ones on screen, the ones he fathered, the ones he inspired, supported, enlivened and made better through his talent, generosity and humanity.” –Emily Ziff
“[Making art is] very fulfilling and challenging and maddening. Sometimes you can never get it right and usually you don’t, and you realize how art and life are very similar, ultimately. They really are. They don’t really end, and they don’t really answer themselves… The good stuff, you know?” –PSH
Happy birthday, Philip Seymour Hoffman! (July 23, 1967 – February 2, 2014)
