Inside the Actors Studio1994
Dustin Hoffman:
Failing is not the worst. Committing a sin is worse. Not failing. Committing a sin. You know, putting something out there that you think is safe and that you think "Well, I won't get hurt, it's derivative, it's worked before." It's kind of a sin because you're denying yourself your... gift, I guess. There's nothing wrong with failing. You're gonna fail. I fail. Everything is "Success! Success! Success! Success!" Fine! Fine. But give me something that is "Ooooh!", that's in the "Oooh!" You know? Let the film not work, let the actor not even be consistent, but put me in there, in that place with somebody. That's worth everything.
