“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

"Being around Phil is a reminder of how rich and great life is." –Amy Ryan

"He gave life and honesty and breathed fullness into all his characters and work in the way only those who have been uniquely gifted and talented could chose to challenge and pursue the responsibility of possessing such a gift, with love and kindness." –Tom Hardy

"Phil is still with all of us who were blessed to know him (and/or his work)—forever." –Steven Schub

"Isn’t it worth grieving? Isn’t it worth destroying yourself in order to move on? Isn’t it worth going through whatever you need to go through in order to move on? Isn’t it worth loving somebody even if this might happen to you? Just a communal understanding that love is worth it; grieving love is also worth it and that it might be this interesting, this colorful, or this odd." –PSH "Everybody on the planet, if looked at closely enough, is worthy of being loved with the most love that you could ever give." –PSH

You’re not hardcore unless you live hardcore, but the legend of the rent was way hardcore!

“It’s an origin story through the eyes of Dickie Moltisanti, Christopher’s father. The Tony Soprano we know has this beautiful vulnerability underneath and this rough exterior, but what if we flip that on its side and you watch a creative, hopeful, kind, curious kid get whittled down and formed into what he has to be?”
