Anthony Hopkins: 'Actors Are Pretty Stupid'

Quote
"People ask me questions about present situations in life, and I say, ‘I don’t know, I’m just an actor,'" Hopkins told Pitt. " I don’t have any opinions. Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything. There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it, because I’m not going to participate."

Sounds like he is smart enough.

Why should I care what Anthony Hopkins said about actors and political comments?

In this case, it's because he's talking about a subject he knows very well and has a lot of experience with: actors.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

He's smarter than this, and what he said addresses the very problem:

Exactly what I was thinking...

Isn't that pretty much what Hopkins said?

Sort of reminds me of the never ending discussion I used to have with my daughter on what day you were supposed to say it was on Opposite Day.
