More quotes by Tom Hooper

  • "I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day."

  • "I mean, we've all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won't come."
